Wanted to resume my normal Tuesday route with running partner Jerry, last week we went up Myers Trail. There would be little in the way of new streets on this route until we came down from the airport and hit the intersection of 27th and Rimrock. There we’d have the opportunity to clean up the triangle of that intersection.
However, we were trying to outrun a thunderstorm and didn’t want to get caught in a lightning strike so we only did the Yucca Street and the the two dead ends shown to the left on the map above. We made it back just as the sky opened up and it became hailing.
This week we returned to the Myers Route. Before we left I’d noticed that I hadn’t run 13th West from about the BBWA canal to Rimrock so instead of doing our normal cut through Veterans Park we go that box checked.
Up on Myers trail it was nice to see that the cut I’d made the week before on the trail was still intact. The hillside had obliterated the trail and it was a slippery mess to get by there so I’d gone up there with my digging bar and done some improvements. Here’s a photo from last week.
It was a beautiful day.
When we got to that intersection of 27th and Rimrock, we did a loop around it and then headed west on Rimrock to get a small portion of it to Normal Drive.
We stopped for a look at a sculpture on the university campus and the newly filled BBWA canal before finishing up the run.
Lots of miles and probably only a mile of new roads on this run.
