    YHC took off early to get day 25 of the mile-a-day challenge knocked out. Apparently Splinter was lurking somewhere in the bushes ready to ambush as YHC forgot whether to turn on Lakewood or Sunset.  Pre-workout mumblechatter centered on William and Mary and if the schools’ athletics were ever good enough to have a true rival. Jon Stewart doesn’t like UpChuck’s line of questioning. Honeydo, chime in.  Solid work today Gents, fences are merely a suggestion.

    HDHH – Thursday Hardywood West Creek

  • Comin In Boiling Hot

    The four most regular BC Pax put in some extra credit. Route was Early Bird to DogPile and back, 3 miles and some change. Discussion on the return trip focused on the extensive new fencing around the Vita course. UpChuck always be EH’in. Look for Joe in the weeks to come. YHC thinks Big Pun might make a solid nickname.

    Apologies a plenty, first to the 6s, YHC knew your route would be 2-3 tenths short, maybe a hair more. Figured there was enough intelligence among that crew to find the extra distance. Next, to all PAX for getting TYA lost. Woodberry was way too close and easy to see once turning on Hollins. TYA guarantees to Q the next 3 weeks with a healthy helping of Groooooove. Last apology to Bone for jumping the gun on the COT, should have known GPS would follow YHC’s directions to a T and bring you back on time.  For anyone else needing an apology, call the hotline.

    YHC is flattered the pills he serves up fearfully drive the PAX to the loving arms of the fartsack. Today’s pill was more of a Flintstone vitamin, nevertheless the October heat, humidity, and dense fog ensured the PAX left as wet as ever. Solid OSOTW from both UpChuck and Honeydo. Coffeeteria was great as always.

    Lots of Cornhole chatter this morning as expected.  Congrats to UpChuck and Hitch for representing Tuckahoe/ City Proper and bringing the trophy home where it belongs.  Splinter is the new Swirly, arriving extra early to secure the AO, one does wonder where he goes before reappearing in time for launch.  Many of the PAX take their headlamps and illumination seriously, ask UpChuck’s 2.0s.  Stay safe out there.  Thanks for allowing and following YHC’s lead.

    The fellas appreciated YHC’s coordinated workout gear.  What can YHC say, gotta keep it fresh.  Look good, feel good, feel good, perform good, as they say.  Appreciate the opportunity to Q.  If anyone reads Punisher backblasts, but has never been, YHC would highly encourage it.  Punisher has a very unique, but welcoming feel.  Tell Chum EF sent ya.

    YHC unintentionally signed up to Q post BRR, but that turned out to be a great way to control the route and more importantly the hills.  Was looking for the flattest route possible, which isn’t easy around UR.  The 6s didn’t get spared.  BRR is less than a year away, see TYA for details.

    Moseying down River Rd proved somewhat dangerous with the disproportionate number of cars to the time of day, but thankfully the PAX made it over and back successfully.  As YHC delivered the Dora instructions Handshake made a number of noises that only M-shake should hear.  Coffeteria was fantastic as always with conversations surrounding appropriate places to pee, drunk shenanigans, committee leadership, school board antics, and other awesome gags.  And UpChuck’s brother is a master pranker.
