Rules
- Standard sudoku rules apply
- Digits cannot be repeated within cages
- There is a closed loop consisting of horizontal and vertical lines connecting cell center to cell center
- The loop doesn't cross itself and visits each cage exactly once
- Cells that aren't part of the loop can't be horizontally or vertically adjacent if they are in different cages (See: Country Road Puzzle)
- Values in the corner of cages equal the sum of the digits in that cage that are part of the loop

Lovely puzzle and interaction between both rule sets!

This is a modified version of a puzzle I made last summer. I think it does a better job of requiring the solver to jump back and forth between the country road and sudoku rules.
It also allowed me to remove a clumsy rule I had to tack on to disambiguate a few cells at the end.
