The Stache Bros (Vinny and Gumbo) issued a challenge to the PAX at the Inaugural 1st Inaugural Retreat. What rhymes with Stache?…CASH baby.
Vinny and YHC of course love locking the razor away for a month and love celebrating the greatness of Magnum P.I. and his stache, so we thought of a way to play off of that and challenge the PAX to raise some cash for a good cause. For the first year of the Stache Challenge, we would like to raise some cash for a very worthy cause, and not just because it is run by one of our very own (LabRat’s M). We will be raising money for Raise Coffee Co. of Hanover, VA https://www.raisewithus.org/
Raise is doing great work and while many of us have supported Raise individually, we thought an organized F3RVA fundraising effort would be great.
We are open to additional and/or different beneficiaries for future years of the Stache Challenge, so let Vinny and Gumbo hear of other worth local organizations for future consideration.
Here are the details of the challenge –
Details about how/where to send your donation will be forthcoming.
Let’s see how much money we can raise and how many staches we can sport on 12/7/19. I for one think we can blow this goal out of the water, and I’d love to see 50 guys with muddy Hawaiian shirts and staches on 12/7/19.
Let’s do it.

The NFL season is upon us, and that means it’s time to put your football knowledge to the test. I’ve been running an NFL Survivor Pool for 15+ years, and I’d like to invite you to join.
For those of you who have played in my league before but didn’t play last year, I’m changing the league to allow for double elimination: a guarantee that you can’t crash out in Week 1! This change has meant that I’m now hosting the league on a new website.
This is NOT Fantasy Football…it’s much easier: pick 1 team to win each week. No spreads. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. If your team loses, you get a strike. 2 strikes and you’re out. The only catch is that you cannot pick the same team twice during the season. So, if you choose the Panthers in week 1, you cannot use the Panthers again for the rest of the season.
$10 Entry
Winner takes all!
Last year we had 123 players, do the math!

The Wednesday August 7th Roller Coaster hill run will launch from Kuba Kuba Dos (Tuckahoe Shopping Center). We will meet in the parking lot and have a hard start at 5:30PM. We will then run a nearby loop with hills in The River Road Hills neighborhood and then retreat back to the restaurant for HDHH! If you cannot make the run, please join us at the restaurant. Runners should be back by 6:15PM or so. This will be good training for BRR 2019 (the running part and the beer drinking part afterwards.) Also, you can check off TWO SUMMER TOUR ITEMS from your SUMMER TOUR list, one of which is EXTRA CREDIT! There are several tSummer Tour participants that need these AO’s to complete the tour. This will be the last “Kubota sponsored” HDHH this Summer. See ya there!
ps: there will be a lemonade stand at 105 Ralston Rd so have some change with you the help my 2.0 Husky out! He thanks you in advance!
There has been a lot of confusion regarding the location of Tomato Run and DaVille AO. The issue has been when the RVA PAX is using google maps.
From what we have been told, somehow seniors at Hanover HS were able to have Google maps changed to show the address to their school when you type Atlee HS.
The location of Atlee HS is at
9414 Atlee Station Rd, Mechanicsville, VA 23116
Anyone that still needs to cross these AO’s off your summer tour list keep this in mind!

The Wednesday July 24th Roller Coaster hill run will launch from the parking lot behind Palani Drive (401 Libbie Avenue). We will meet in the parking lot and have a hard start at 6PM. We will then run up and down some nearby hills and then retreat back to Palani Drive for HDHH! If you cannot make the run, please join us at the restaurant. Runners should be back by 6:45PM or so. There is outdoor seating at Palani Drive, which will be key for those that do not smell the best after a run. This will be good training for BRR 2019 (the running part and the beer drinking part afterwards.) Also, you can check off TWO SUMMER TOUR ITEMS from your SUMMER TOUR list, one of which is EXTRA CREDIT! See ya there!
Gentlemen, the retreat is set for 9/21-9/22 in Amelia. Gomer Pyle’s extended family is kind enough to allow the use of a beautiful/quiet piece of property. Please RSVP below if you plan to attend. As we draw closer, take note of the following:
Opening Ceremonies: 9/21 at 2:00 p.m.
Closing Ceremonies: 9/22 at 10:00 a.m.
Attendees: PAX members 21 years of age and older. No FNGs.
Celebration: September 2019 will F3 RVA’s 5th year anniversary – what a way to celebrate!
Corn Hole tournament: Will be facilitated by EF Hutton and Dr. Try Hard (firm 4:30 p.m. start time). Two-man teams must be comprised of PAX members from different nano-regions. There is a sign-up sheet in google docs. Please register your team no later than 9/1 so that we can set the field. There is a sweet trophy for the winning combo!
There is plenty of cleared land, so bring footballs, frisbees, croquet, whatever. But again, no guns (other than squirt and/or nerf). Other than the corn hole tournament, this is a sit and sip, informal affair. THERE WILL BE NO ORGANIZED FIRST F!!! We do that the other 364 days of the year. Or, leave early and hit Sunday Funday or OTB.
Food / Beverage: BYOB and BYOF. Circle K will bring his enormous charcoal grill. Please use the comment space below to announce what cooking gear you can volunteer to bring. Generally, I’m asking y’all to divide and conquer in smaller groups when it comes to food and beverage. That said, Rosie will be bringing oysters for the PAX. We’ll need to advance him some cash, I’m assuming.
Please also bring one food item to share with the group. Chips, desserts, whatever. Honeymoon has kindly volunteered to supply the PAX with drinking water.
Gear: Bring your own tent, hammock, or ready made yurt, chairs, etc. There will be a port-o-john on site, and running water (garden hose variety). Otherwise, it’ll be a straight up camp out. We need tables and canopies. I believe Flipper has a few canopies, but if you have one, please bring it I’d rather have too many as opposed to not enough.
Fire Wood: We won’t need to bring any, as there is plenty on site, but we will need lighters, matches, etc.
Details: —–>
Text me for the address.
For those who would like to caravan in to the site, we’ll launch from the Woodlake Lowe’s at NOON. 7001 Winterpock Road.
Designated Parking Area: There will be a designated parking area. Please use it. It’ll be obvious upon arrival.
Breakfast 9/22: If anyone wants to spearhead a breakfast campaign, please feel free to do so.
3rd F: There are plans for a Sunday morning devotional.
I’m sure I’m forgetting something. But again, the design is a laid back 2nd F. Be creative. If guys want to tee up a chill cook off or some other meal preparation contest, have at it. Hopefully this grows into a tradition that we look forward too on an inaugural/annual basis.
