As I got ready I went over possible routes and settled on the <strong>Community Drive &#8211; Cumberland &#8211; Oakhurst<\/strong> one. I wanted to ride 36+ miles so I changed the streets some from the previous ride on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32048938\">May 15th<\/a><\/strong>. I only rode a short distance into The Highlands on Cumberland Blvd. and made the u-turn back to FM1314. The temperature was not quite 90 and I wanted to finish before the heat got serious. The wind stayed in the single digits and the humidity wasn&#8217;t too high. Today&#8217;s 36.27 miles is the highest since I first rode the route in July 2022. I&#8217;m building a cushion of miles towards my July goal of 930 miles with 106.6 versus 3 days of the average of 30 miles per day. I may need those since I&#8217;m not sure if I will ride on July 4th. I finished at 12:17 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos from a brief stop on Valley Ranch Bend Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
