  • Pork, Pasta, Puddin’

    YHC put his 2.0 to work to provide a meal for some very grateful folks.  Rumor has it, it was a success.  Here’s what was served:

    • Black Pepper Crusted Pork Tenderloin
    • Pasta Salad
    • Banana Pudding
    • Tea & Lemonade

    YHC’s 2.0 is working on her kitchen game and is also required to serve the community.  Boom, Breaking Bread offers a perfect opportunity.  Always a pleasure to give back.

  • We’ll Just Follow You

    As YHC recited the route, the PAX’s faces went numb and their eyes glazed over.  Only Whitesnake understood the assignment.  Here’s where they went:

    The Route

    • L on Pump
    • L on Sancrest
    • L on Windingridge to Hickoryridge
    • L on Falconbridge
    • R on Raintreee
    • Loop Deepwood Cir
    • R on Raintree
    • Loop Raintree Lake
    • R on Raintree
    • L on Maremont and back to the Shovel Flag

    YHC tries to add one new road to each Currahee route.  Today we did Deepwood, insert Beavis and Butthead laugh.  Next time we’ll look for Beaverhole.  Great to have Tonka back at Currahee and Bodos visiting.

    • GTE – still time to sign up

  • Lulu Ruins Coffee

    Unsure if part of the route actually existed, five men sought the truth while one did his own thing.  Here’s where they went:

    The Route

    • Cross Pump to Old Prescott
    • R on Glen Eagles
    • R on Bridgehaven
    • L on Burnside
    • L on Pump
    • R on Crowncrest
    • L on Brookmont
    • L on Cox to the tip and reverso
    • R on Ridgefield
    • L on Raintree
    • R on Windbluff
    • R on Willowick
    • L on Maremont and back to the Shovel Flag

    What appeared to be a pretty harmless route on paper, turned into a son of a b*tch of a route with almost all low-grade uphill.  Sincerest apologies to all.  By the end Lulu’s stomach was in knots.  So much so, that she ruined coffee and possibly Handshake’s backseat.

    YHC put out a disclaimer at the beginning that the workout might not be the hardest, but would certainly be the dumbest.  To no surprise, the PAX was not quite ready for its own YouTube channel and lots of Merkins and Jump Squats were dished out.  When the 2.0 lands a bottle flip, YHC might actually be impressed from now on.  An un-angled hole, improper distancing, and the lack of a beer in the non-throwing hand made for very sub-par Bucketholing.  YHC is an adequate bowler in real life, I swear!  Regretfully UASGB was cut short.  It may return when there’s better lighting.  Team Bleedoyhiker was victorious with a score of double bogey.  Next Saturday Hitch will give a lesson in the bees and the birds.  Shout out to Mr. R for double-dipping DP and R&R.

    With ice in his beard Gypsy posed the question, does anyone have a good idea for a route?  YHC responded, I have a route, though I doubt it’s a good idea.  Nevertheless it’s what was done.  Wally too had an icy beard when all was said and done.

    Quiet-ish chilly morning to run the mean streets of western Henrico.  Very difficult to find uncharted territory these days.  Lulu tried to give YHC a flat tire twice on Church.  One PAX popped a tire or maybe blew a gasket on Pump.  No injuries were reported, however.  Gomer was rocking a rad 80s windbreaker, excuse me “running jacket.”  Things YHC learned today, 1) Germans love small coffee, 2) Whitesnake’s father-in-law is quite the hobbyist.

    YHC was pleasantly surprised to find snow this morning, but a quick survey of the AO revealed it was mostly a slippery and muddy swamp with a dusting of the white stuff on top.  Executive Decision was to save the fun for another day and stay dry.  Senor Frog and Pigkin did not protest.  Creativity was at an all time low.
