With it warm enough to ride in short sleeves and shorts, it was time to do the shorter version of this loop. Shorter, as in not starting from the Soccerplex or going to the river. This many miles was quite enough for March legs, but at the same time, the cardio at 14 was much better than expected (Alp du Cattail or the Five Steps Of Hell). It wasn't the regular 30-mile workout but was just fine. Pretty strong WSW wind, which made the long NE run from Sugarland up to Comus Road pretty enjoyable. Though the stretch along Slidell was, um, challenging, even with the general elevation loss. So happy to be out though, and not cold. Legs probably could have done more, but stopping when we did was good. w/Dan
