– Jeni’s Launch out of UP (fka U-Mall).
– Estes hill up. Sim City and Sonar showed off their way-finding skill to reel in the peloton.
– Curtis hill down. Flapjack took Vandy’s Goat-advice and gave the easy effort, smoking the downhill. All gas; no brakes. Fake news showed mercy on the fleet feet lanyard-wearing afternoon-runners while offering his assessment of Luigi’s recovery shoes: fatty ankle breakers. Amtrak Joe was a perfect gentleman 3rd wheel.
– Lakeshore to the left with Wile E providing an F3 Lake Forest house tour and guidance on where to get a good fake.
– Flat to “where the sidewalk ends”: Luigi says, it’s no Golden Gate. Yo-Yo spotting.
– Up Lakeshore hill and Right to the greenway. Sandbagging by draper and 2ply didn’t stop 12 PAX from taking down 2x baby Tadleys clockwise down Markham hill. amphibious still in recovery-mode lulled everyone into a false sense of security, but the deer knew to run.
– YHC lost count of the men and cost the PAX some time. Everyone took advantage of the sun to admire OPEC’s radiant jawline by the bollard
– Back home to the music and always-green-grass of the AO by way of Elliot and the Cookout parking lot. The PAX were gracious and forgave the late return.
