Came up with a different sorta loop on the same old roads. Having discovered the climb up Hughes Road from the river is of no consequence, as well as a short stretch of River Road, added those bits into a loop starting from the SoccerPlex. Still get that tough Cattail wall (starts about 20.3) and the various up-and-downs on Peach Tree Road but then turn east on White Store for a lonnnnnng downhill earned by all the other climbing. Once again trying to start early enough to avoid the worst of the heat; once again mostly successful. Started later than preferred but at least Flattie McFlatterson did not appear this time. It was pretty hot at the end, with momentary OG confusion at mile 32.7 about where we were going (yeah yeah, look at the Garmin)... the roads in that area are pure 'burbs and everything looks the same and, well, the OG was tired and hot. Body is FINALLY in a decent condition though hardly where it SHOULD be for mid-July. Regardless, we keep working. The contact points seem fine; probably helped by several short stops (guess what, OG, this is your life now). Very curious to see what this might be like in the other direction, though the climbs at the end (see the profile at 1.7 to 2.3) could be challenging...
