to clonmel and back

i woke up really early this morning. since i knew i wouldn't have time to ride later today, i got up. i was dressed and on my bike before my alarm would've gone off.

i rolled out from the dorm at friends university and never had to stop for a stoplight on the way out of town. (that required a little creative turning right on red once.)

i rode south down edwards and then cut across to west on mccormick before heading south on west again. (i know that was a bit confusing. directional words should never be used as a street name.)

i took west to southwest boulevard and then headed west on southwest. (here we go again.) i rode southwest out past cessna and the airport and headed out into the country on k-42. i pedaled all the way to clonmel then turned around and headed back.

on the way back i turned east at macarthur and rode to hoover where i turned north. i rolled back up to southwest boulevard and retraced my path to the dorm. i did have to stop at a couple of lights this time. i got at the intersection of west and southwest and at the corner of mccormick and edwards and the next light at meridian too. grrrr. i hate stopping.

when i pulled into the drive at friends university, i circled the campus once to get my mileage up over 30 miles, then pulled into the dorm parking lot and ended my morning's ride. (30.35 miles @ 16.3mph)
