    NMS: It was great to be down in Fla and attend my 1st Down Range CSAUP. This was Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless. 63 HIMS showing up knowing what they were getting into… Awesome!! and 2 FNG’s.

    1.5 hours to complete. There was an option to split with a partner, YHC did not see anyone split, everyone was all in. It was a great motivator.

  • Ranking Saturday AO’s

    9 Good Ol’ Boys… Makin’ their way, the only way they know how, that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow. Just a good old boys…

    Warmamara: Phonics tries to steal the Q. YHC promised no eye of the storm, but YHC could not change the sauna like conditions. Let’s gooo!!

    The Thang: From the Clubhouse, Left on Combs, Left on Rutlandshire Drive, go to the end, then run it back. Repeat x 4, 5, or 6.

    NMS: 7 Runners and 2 Ruckers got it done today – well done boys. Was Rutlandshire uphill both ways? Great crew this morning: the route made it possible to keep everyone together or at least in sight.

    Mumblechatter: What’s better Rock n Roll or Dogpile. YHC ranks the Saturday AOs according to the 2nd F (breakfast options). It’s a tight race between Dogpile and RocknRoll.

    DogPile: 9.5/10 Libbie Market: Good – Solid Breakfast options, Eggs, Bacon, breakfast Pizza (Lettuce for Bootleg) and several coffee choices. Bad: Have to get a good seat though or you will be blinded by the sun. Coffee okay. Couple of the locals are not big fans of us studs.

    RocknRoll: 9/10 Latin Market: Good – Several breakfast options but really YHC is there for the Arepas. Bad: No shade, no seating, no covered area. Latin Market is seasonal, so ranking may fall. but…. they do have Pickleball courts on site (+1).

    DaPile: 8/10 The Local Cup: Good – great coffee and breakfast sandwiches, seating indoors and out. Bad: DaPile is a haul. Portion size considerably less than Libbie Market.

    GridIron: 3/10 Starbucks: Good – One long table. Bad: No bacon, no eggs. Coffee bitter. but…. they do have Pickleball courts on site (+1).

    The Iron Bridge: 0/0 eval is pending. Let’s hope they found a good spot.

    See you in gloom

    NMS: Yesterday at Hoedown our friend Cal Worthington (downrange) requested a good AO with a bit of mumblechatter. As luck would have it, First Watch would be close by. No other AO can match the mumblechatter and overshare that one would find at the 5am First Watch AO. Well done boys, you did not disappoint. Did anyone ask Cal what he does for a living or how he got his name? Coffateria always great.

    Other news:
    Last Call is having a really really great week.
    Kubota promises to post more.
    Ronnie’s opening argument was on point!
    Splinter will do his Mary exercise tomorrow at 45MOM
    Cal will tell anyone who wants to know about his F3 name, just ask and ask again

  • BREAKING BREAD – NEEDS YOU

    BREAKING BREAD – NEEDS YOU

    Saturday – June 29th… Who can help provide a few meals to the Daily Planet for Breaking Bread?

    What is Breaking Bread:
    F3 Richmond has been supporting the Daily Planet for over 6 years (Think of this somewhere between our 2nd F and 3rd F). The Daily Planet is a local non-profit providing medical respite for individuals who are homeless, offering a safe place to recover from medical needs. They rely on community support to provide meals during this recovery. This is where F3 Richmond steps in — we proudly take the last weekend (Sat/Sun) of each month to provide meals to those in their medical respite.

    How you can help:
    1. Sign up: Choose a night on the Q sheet.
    2. Get Details: A few days before your date, the siteQ will provide all the details, including the number of meals needed for that night. (Usually around 8, but it can be up to 15).

    Meal Prep:
    Meals can be as simple or elaborate as you like. Some PAX have picked up chicken and sides from Publix, while others have involved their M and 2.0’s to prepare home-cooked meals like baked spaghetti with garlic bread and dessert. The most important thing is providing a hot meal to someone who might not otherwise have one (read that again). You can choose to stay and “break bread” with the Respite guests or simply drop the meal off with one of the staff at Breaking Bread.

    Let’s get June 29th covered. And while you’re at it, let’s complete 2024 with the following open spots: Sept 28, Sept 29. Oct 27. Nov 23, Nov 24. Dec 28, Dec 29.

    In 2024:
    We have 161 PAX who have posted 5+ days in 2024
    Breaking Bread: 24 Spots open each year. (161 PAX for 24 BB??)
