Did they have any good deals? I've ran the Best Buy loop a few times just looking at the big TV's.

Best Buy always has good deals. That's why they were able to crush Circuit City like a grape.

We name our routes after prominent landmarks along the way or by experiences we have had. For Example...

Pizza Hut - 10 miles

Best Buy Loop 6.5 miles

Marchbanks - 5 miles

Go Hoco - 11 miles

Fat Dog - 10 miles

Paris Mt. - 8 miles

Paris Mt. race loop - 12.4 miles

Short Green Valley - 7 miles

Long Green Valley - 10 miles

Short TR - 8

LONG TR - 12

Lake - 3 miles

Lower Loop - 2 miles

Upper Loop - 2 miles

These names mostly come from my college days in South Carolina. This was the pre-Garmin era so the distances are probably wildly overestimated.

We had a couple routes I can't mention because their names are not "family friendly". Or maybe they are - depends on the family I guess. But I don't want to chance it.

Best Buy is definitely not family friendly in my home. To many arguments start there.
