so....hot.....
BNM was kind enough to join to scout the bulk of the southern points. Perhaps more green than ideal, although most landings remain nice.

While I sometimes cringe thinking about something dumb I said six months, some people have no qualms about RV cheating their way to an across-the-USA-on-"foot" record.

Letsrun.com reader tried to meet up with the guy, only found an RV moving slowly, and then speeding off. No runner. Then someone found security footage also of an RV driving at running speed with no runner in sight.
People lodging questions on FB are met with, "Hey, he's a nice guy, stop hating." Deny deny deny.

Biking 1:00:00 [3] 15.8 mi (15.8 mph) +64m
shoes: Long Haul Trucker
Noooo
Forgot to charge watch, but did charge down Hines. Ride had PR potential, other than no luck with the lights.
Speaking of lights, I have one intersection of concern. Today the oncoming drive motioned for me to do the Jersey left when the light turned green (Hines to Outer). I wish there was a cut into the Dearborn Heights subs from Hines so I could go straight and turn at a better spot. Some days it's interesting because there's enough traffic and you have to move from the shoulder into the traffic to make the left, but won't be going anywhere near the 4x mph they are doing.

Well, I did not know that would be possible so soon!
Helped that I tried to reel in a cyclist right after getting onto Hines. I couldn't, for a long time. Finally tried to make a pass stick, but she was too fit, and caught me within a half mile, so we chatted until her turnaround. Nice lady.
Hammered through the Old Village when I saw the possibilities.
Imagine if you didn't have to do 12 mph average on Paul in Detroit.
