I rode north to Community Drive, circled east to Loop 494, back to US59 and then into Valley Ranch. Emerging from Valley Ranch I rode to FM1314 and then NW to Cumberland Blvd. At the entrance sign to The Highlands I made the u-turn to go back to FM1314 and ride SE. I stopped at the Circle K for ice ad blue PowerAde. While drinking the PowerAde I sat in the shade with a light breeze cooling me even though I was outside. Refreshed I got back on my Cervelo Caledonia bike rode to Old Sorters Road through Briar Tree, Oakhurst, Kingwood Place and back to US59. With 6 miles left I made the u-turn under US59 at Kingwood Drive, back to Loop 494 and into Kings Manor. Kingwood was a few streets away. After starting at 10:14 AM I finished at 1:36 PM. This followed mostly the <strong>Community Drive &#8211; Cumberland &#8211; Oakhurst<\/strong> route. The last time I used this route was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32191890\">July 3rd<\/a><\/strong>. Today&#8217;s 36.72 miles pushed August miles to 411.78, ahead of the pace I need to reach the 904 mile goal. I&#8217;m 46% of the way there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My arm sleeves were coated with salt when I finished. The heat and sun are strong. Weather: Start 90 degrees, humidity 69%, dew point 78.1, partly cloudy, wind W 5 mph; @Circle K 92 degrees, humidity 56%, dew point 74, partly cloudy, wind SE 5 mph; Finish 94 degrees, humidity 59%,
