Fourteen Tuesday regulars woke up to zero excuses, rolled out of bed, and made it to the Commons in time for impeccable instructions and a double serving of horse’s pens. After a more methodical instruction set, a 15 second recap was offered before launch mode was triggered. There were a few, “you know where you are going?” comments leaving the parking lot with subsequent “I got this” comments. Marv ran off course early with his noble steed at his side, but they eventually found the main part of the route. Route was prescribed as follows:
The Route
- East side of the lake, up around the baseball field and through fraternity row. New fraternity row, not old fraternity row.
- Right on Hampshire to Horsepen
- Horsepen to right on Patterson, right on Ridge Top
- Ridge Top to the bottom then right on Horsepen back up
- 4s right on Devon to Ridge Top
- 5s all the way to the top then add Chandler up and down
- 6s add Waveny to Westham & back, Durwood Crescent to Westham & back, and Chandler up and down
- Everyone take a left on Wheeler, right through the path, straight across on Campus
- Right on UR drive and take the right loop by the football field BTTVSF
Numbers, names, YHC took us out followed by more names.
Announcements
- Kind of a big deal this Saturday. Someone in the PAX was as giddy as a school girl. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. 7am @ Dogpile.
- Training for the 10 year anniversary of the inaugural F3RVA BRR team has started.
Moleskin
Always a pleasure to lead this group of stallions, especially as we tackled Horsepen not once, but twice. Turns out the 4s felt shafted by short circuiting the second loop. 5s felt like 4s, and 6s got lost early. Sounds like a normal Tuesday morning.
Maybe this route should be named the Double Stallion, if we are still naming routes. A few tweaks and this one could be a regular addition.
Challenge yourself today fellas.
Splinter out.
