Long City Loop


The corner of Bank and Church streets in Old Salem


Rolling through the cemetary between downtown and Old Salem

Curtis and I had a great ride tonight. We attached the normal (forward, not backward) city loop to a loop that adds on the greenway out to Salem Lake. On the way out towards the lake, we saw Dr. Pain going the opposite direction. He pulled a U-Turn and hopped in with us to ride through Wake Forest and over towards the West End. Good to see you Doc! After Dr. P pulled off, Curtis and I made our way to Salem Lake via the greenway.

Once at the Lake, we chilled for a little bit and watched the sun dip low. We headed back the way we came, and the headlights were becoming more of a requirement now. We rolled back through downtown, seeing some people we knew, and over to the West End. We did a couple more of the hills back to the top to downtown, and then turned back West towards the shop. Even after Curtis' now legendary efforts on the City Loop Mafia ride last night, he was still pulling hard back down Country Club. I didn't have the Garmin charged tonight, so there's no real stats, aside from 29.5 miles.
