Twelve pavement pounders, including one from DR, found the hidden entrance to the Spider Run AO and gathered for instructions. Two launched early, with one more hoping for a ruck partner. Luckily he showed right at 0530 so off we went for:
The Route
Out and backs today. Reverse direction from how we normally hit these hills.
Out around the lake and through the path to University, most avoiding the temptation to turn left over the bridge. Up University to south on Westham. Westham cross River to Country Squire. Country Squire to left on South Ridge. Right on Ross to the bottom then back up to South Ridge.
4s return via Country Squire.
5s / 6s take a right on South Ridge and continue to Old Bridge.
5s return back up South Ridge & Country Squire.
6s up Highland before returning back up South Ridge & Country Squire.
Numbers, names, announcements, YHC took us out.

Great to see the crew back out at Spider Run this morning. Even with some grumblings about the out-and-back route and the fact that 5s and 6s were almost back home on Westham Station but were told to reverse course, the PAX had a marvelous time. YHC personally enjoyed hitting those hills from a different approach, which is all that really matters.
Make it a great day!
Splinter out.
