You can't put the headwind and chip seal shoulder on there.

I saw the Orbea shop, lucky guys.
I've been wracking my brain to remember those hills between Conway and Mayflower. We used to drive that highway to get to Palarm, which is that liquor store we passed after we left Maumelle Blvd. Conway is in a dry county, so as teens we knew where we could buy liquor if we looked old enough. The whole part between Mayflower and outside Conway is a blur.

But yeah, I see those kick-*** hills! Sorry about that! Glad you conquered them.

I stayed off the shoulder as much as possible. Of course, I got my flat from something in the ROAD.
