MOLESKINE:
Your Q had been meaning to log some miles in the new development across from Stallings Park and figured today’s Road Warrior was as good a time as any. Nine men posted at the flag, ready to explore. At that same time, five ruckers swung by the flag and continued on their trek. The Q called out to them letting them know where we were headed, but then it occurred to him that no one had asked and they clearly had a route in mind.
We took the long way around to get back to Stallings and then hit the Camellia Gardens development. Nothing too exceptional about it but the roads are flat and straight. Just gotta be watchful for exposed manhole covers and the like. Most got two laps around, Talladega and Salty Dog got three, then time to head back. All made it to the flag safely and in good spirits by 0614.
Good crowd for Coffeeteria. About eight of us hung out and discussed old school hip hop, new school Youtubers and influencers, and plenty in between. Good spending the morning with you guys.
