Since it's another week before you get to climb Lynch, and I know you miss it, you get to ride down it on this route. Of course, you have to climb it from the back side, but that's easy, right?
This is either a long short ride or a short long ride, so it ought to make everyone unhappy.
As for me, it looks like August 10 may be the first opportunity to return, at least with the doctor's blessings. :-
