  • Flatty’s Not-So-Flat Route

    Two jackrabbits and a clydesdale gathered in the gloom of the Bettie Weaver ES parking lot. Under the most recent guidance, the run was speed-optional. Here’s how it went –

    The Flatline Special: BWES, cross Robious, up Twin Team , right on East Brigstock and keep going – at 22:30 turn around and BTTF. 4.5 miles for YHC; your mileage may vary.

    Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

    NMMS: it‘s always a pleasure to run with Doozy and Boberry, and YHC was glad to see their headlamps coming back for the 6 as YHC finally crested the summit of Twin Team. I think therees a lesson in there somewhere. 😉

    Make it a great one!

  • Spreading the SOP gospel

    8 Amish and 1 southerner posted in Lancaster Saturday morning. Inspector had the Q and here is the BB: https://www.f3lanco.com/items/saturday-morning-beatdown

  • Turbo on the Trails

    Bootleg and YHC opened up the pump house parking lot for business. Bootleg, Helix, and Sippy Cup took Buttermilk to the flood wall, across Mayo Bridge, and back on the north bank. FNG Turbo, YHC, and Sally crossed at Belle Isle. Lola joined the flood wall crew for a bit.

    Turbo claims he was sold a bill of goods by YHC and was not expecting a 6+ mile trek. He’s been upping his game by putting in miles on the road recently. Turbo and YHC initially agreed to turn back at Reedy Creek, but when they arrived at the parking lot, Turbo insisted on pushing on. Way to work!

  • Could have done this at the house

    Two of us left our adjacent houses and posted at Linwood Holton Elementary School for the Valentine’s Day Punisher. Brief warmup with several of the usual. Followed with a couple of two man Triple Check rounds and some dealer’s choice exercises.

  • Can do anything for 15 minutes

    Six of us made it to Bingo Beer for the February social, two for the brief workout in the rain beforehand, but all of us for a beverage.

  • MubbleChatter strong

    1 grabbed his rucksack.  2 went on a Run. Check Strava for routes.

  • New Roads

    5 Davillians ventured out on this cold Saturday morning to get their long run in for the week.

    Route was something a little different. Got started just after 6:15 with a loop around the schools before heading to fly over. Headed down Atlee Station Rd to Craney Island for a loop in the back part of the neighborhood. Cross over 301 (something new) and cut across Studley then turn onto Times Dispatch rd.

    Run to the end of the road then turn back and head across 301 again. Loop behind Wawa before turn back onto Atlee Station.

    Headed down Atlee Station then turned onto Giles Farm Rd and take the short trail to Giles. Head up Giles Hill to the roundabout.

    6.5 to 7 miles – stayed straight on Giles back to the parking lot

    8+ miles – Ran down some of the new Giles roads before finishing with a loop round the MS

    TClaps to Mr Holland who finished with an extra loop around the schools to get in around 8.25 miles

    It was fun trying out some new roads today. Time to get creative with routes without repeating since it will be 9 or more miles moving forward

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Tuck and Roll

    7 Davillians enjoyed the almost 70 and sunny Thursday morning for another run. Route was a little bit different start first crossing Altee running pass the YMCA doing a loop around the townhouse then running behind Kroger. Cross back over Atlee and a loop around the Rutland Townhouses then a loop around PBR and the library before heading back into to Rutland to hit part of the trail. Finished with what a loop round Rutland to get between 4 to 4.5 miles

    Corned Beef showed off his tuck and roll skills after tripping on a man hole. Luckily no injury this time

    SPIT ON THAT

    COT : DOUBLEMINT IS GETTING HITCHED TODAY! Congratulations brother and enjoy tonight 😉

    Bone Thugs is starting a Pre Run at Rock N Roll starting at 6:30 am on Saturdays that shall NOT be named Breakfast Club haha. The run will start in the parking lot and do a loop around the paved trail at the Nature Center.

    Vagabond has the Q next week at Rock N Roll

    YHC shared his appreciation for Doozy pushing him to stick it out with Rock N Roll. YHC initially started Rock N Roll on Mondays at 5:30 am which was a bad choice of day/time by YHC. It wasn’t serving the needs of the PAX. YHC was ready to throw in the towell on this AO but Doozy took the lead on it and encouraged YHC to stick with it and move this AO to Saturdays at 7 am. It was a game changer. We’ve had 4 FNG’s post at Rock N Roll (still working on EH’s to get them back out haha). And there is a prime opportunity to recruit the plethora of basketball players that play there in the Spring and Summer. YHC already has 1 on the hook who gave a HC to come.

    NMMS : Great push today brothers! Loved the timing of Black Jack coinciding with Vagabond’s charity fundraiser for his work tonight that will feature all sorts of gambling.
