N'Emonda. Partly cloudy, cool at the start but pretty humid, mild South winds that picked up later and were very brisk from about Little Rock back to KHS. Earlly skies were gorgeous with beautiful dark gray and red clouds. We rolled out of the HS at about 7:00 am - Me Dave Frable and Joe Mozden. Due to a Noon doctor's appt, we started early and finished just after 10:30, helped by increasing tailwinds and very short water only stops on the road. This is a deceptively hard route - headwind down to Millington, then even with mostly tailwind on the return, the terrain is mostly uphill. Finished up with +1,500 ft climbing. Good hard effort with fairly even trading of pulls between the 3 of us. Increased our ride average from 17.6 mph at Millington up to 18.5 mph back at KHS.
