After the kiddo's lesson I wanted to hurry up and hi tail it home before the worst of the heat set it. Also wasn't looking forward to the climbs it would take to get home. As is consistent with me, I try to avoid going home along the same route I took to get to my destination. My cycling isn't any different. I'm not a big fan of out and backs, but more loop type rides. Same goes with road trips and hikes. Ride went really well despite the increased heat. I was really impressed with my performance after my right onto Sun City Anthem Drive. This was my first attempt at Hampton Road and it was definitely a grind. Things didn't get much better climbing Atchley/Somersworth and continuing up to Orangesburg. Will say that the HUGE downhill to the house was a welcome reward for such a tough climb. Now just need to continue to improve my bike handling skills so I can take that hill even faster.
