  • Smells Like Summer’s Eve…

    A total of 9 gents arrived at UR to run, walk, and bike.  Routes had been posted and questions were sparse.  

    Subsequent discussions centered around the versatility of feminine products when you are in a pinch.

  • Zippy Cup (TM)…

    ~13 or more arrived at Mary to run and bike and ask questions about a route that largely stuck to one road: Monument.

    Nevertheless, all runners stuck together and covered the 5M option which was quite enjoyable.

    Best of luck to those running the Monument Ave 10K tomorrow – which today’s running route was a homage to. Also best wishes to Hitchhiker on his latest business venture…an appearance on Shark Tank may be around the corner.

  • Whitey’s on the moon…

    A naughty nine showed up to RAMM, with one biker making an early presence. YHC received and earful regarding the amount of elevation on this week’s run…all extremely positive and well intentioned.

    Pro tip: Magnolia leaves apparently serve as an ample substitute for toilet tissue…who knew?
