  • Devil’s Pitchfork: FTLOBD

    Be it 2, 3, or 4 legs, 9 took a pass at the Devil’s Pitchfork off Westham Station near the James. Ample elevation for all.

  • Six Pack and a poor sense of direction…

    6 gents showed up at UR, listened intently to the route – which was described as simple and straightforward – and you-know-who went the wrong way anyway….

    announcements:

    • TYA is at the start of his 6 week marathon on 3 legs. Send him best wishes and patience in his recovery
    • Pickleball is apparently a thing…props to hitch for getting it started…. Not that you will get YHC out on a Monday

  • Tres Amigos

    Despite the low volume there was little Takeover. 3 formidable fiends and one 4 legged friend on crutches knocked out varying ranges of miles and meters.

    Brief discussion about those who are abroad and across the pond.

    Great to see TYA do laps around Mary despite 2 days after surgery….the man is intrepid…much respect.

    Hitchhiker wants YOU to play pickleball…. apparently that’s a thing….

  • A Bridge Extended

    A dozen men posted for the Saturday beatdown and fellowship at the Bridge Ministries in Cumberland county. YHC has never experienced quite a large group at this AO, and to say it was uplifting is an understatement. Men with varying backgrounds, stories of adversity, redemption and hardship, coming together with one common purpose….

    Saab took the Q today while TYA provided his usual commentary, which reminded the PAX what F3 is really about.

  • Hold My Flashlight…

    A luck 13 descended upon Mary for a morning run, walk, ruck, bike. Here’s the core of it

    5M – Follow route as is

    4M – Do Not turn onto Old Locke Lane into Windsor farms.  INSTEAD you proceed straight across Cary, past church to Grove, then back to Mary

    6M – Follow route as is, however, stay on Sulgrave until it turns to Canterbury….take to Cary then turn left back towards Mary via Westmoreland…(if you return on Commonwealth you will be a bit short….thanks Marv)
