Ok, now that it’s in the books, this “blast” can be converted from the “pre-” to the “back-” variety…

We launched from SW Elementary School (Parliament AO; 1631 SW School Rd, Clemmons, NC 27012)

Here’s the TBT:

  • R out of SW Elementary parking on onto SW School Rd
  • R Holder
  • R Pebble Run Ln
  • R Springfield Farm Rd
  • L on Knob Hill
  • R on Sedalia Dr
  • R on Lewisville Clemmons Rd
  • R on Holder
  • R on SW School Rd and back to Start

The MMR Link is here.

~5.37mi ~203ft climb

COT, etc:

  • Beautiful, unseasonably cool day today. Ruckin’ perfect weather…
  • YHC was confused as to the topology of the terrain today; more hills than anticipated
  • Instead of the opulence of Buena Vista and the mean streets of Ardmore, we opted for the middle-middle-class charms Springfield Farms
  • We saw a motorized hang glider flying overhead colored like the American flag; anything’s possible in the village
  • Saw @Phelps near River Oaks Church as he was training for an ultra marathon, also decked out in some red, white & blue gear. He ran backwards for a bit while he talked to us…
  • Some reviews of this morning’s ruck & route: @DQ: “It’s not first on my list, but I might do it again…someday”, @DDay: “Still better than going to the dentist”, @Starfish: “Better than a kick in the teeth”, @SgtShultz had no comment
  • There’s a nice “internet cafe” on the corner of Holder and Lewisville Clemmons, if you need to stop in & check the Facebooks or the Twitters…
  • Lot’s of fun this morning, guys! Thanks for the keys!

Aye!
