Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Return to New Hillz

Preblast: Devil’s Turn – Return to New Hillz

Long, long ago (March 3) Hairball introduced us to a little gem called the #LC aka The Hillz. It is time to return and try again for greatness.

The word on the street is 3 laps cannot be completed. There is tale of it happening once but without a Strava record, it didn’t happen. So the gauntlet has again been thrown.

The following instruction was copied from Hairball’s original proposal of this route. See you in the greenway parking lot at the corner of Rea Rd. and Bevington Place at 5:15 am.

Head north on Rea across 51, switch to left side of Rea. Take 3rd Left on Five Knolls Rd. Head down (and up) Five Knolls til you hit the dead end, about face back to Rea. One lap from the corner of Rea/Five Knolls to the dead end and back = 2 mi. Repeat as many times as possible and head the 1.1 mi back down Rea.

Here’s the breakdown, including the run to Five Knolls, and the return run back:
◾1 lap = 4.2mi (Avg. pace to complete in 60 mins = 14:17/mi)
◾2 laps = 6.2mi (9:40/mi)
◾3 laps = 8.1mi (7:24/mi)

Adjust your laps accordingly to get back to the start by 0615.
