2nd F meetups are fellowship related where members of the F3RVA community get together for non-workout related meetups (e.g. coffee, events, etc.)
Seven steadfast stallions of F3RVA met up for a 2F at The Answer Brewpub Tuesday night to hang and chat with the QIC – our correspondent from a mile in the sky – Fuddski.
Good times we’re had by all. I hear they serve good beer. The wings were on point.
Good to have you around, Fudd. As always
Brothers, please save the date – the PAX of RVA are invited two weeks from today on July 8th for an open conversation, Town Hall style, to pull our Nano regions together and develop strategies for helping our Region grow in all 3 F’s. Venue is TBD, but expect an 8pm start. If you have any great ideas for how you would like to see F3RVA grow, start writing them down. Best, Dr TryHard

Hey Fellas, save the dates for some Ultimate Frisbee and PuppyPile workouts this summer (dates below). Best, DTH
ULTIMATE: 6/8 NoToll, 7/1 Forge, 8/3 Heartbreak Ridge, 9/1 SOT
PUPPYPILE (Following Dogpile – 2nd Sat Monthly): 6/12, 7/10, 8/14, 9/11
And still the champions – Gumbo & Vinny (‘Stache Bros)!
30-40 meats posted at the butchery for our second iteration of the Retreat. Many thanks to each of you for making it what it is, an ode to, and showcase of the ‘Stache Bros.
As usual, the main event, the annual Gumbo & Vinny win, Cornhole Tournament was a blast. There were good outfits (mine), bad outfits (TYAs), and things worn that should never, ever be considered again (DTH / Hardywood).
The food was excellent, and the brotherhood was even better. This is a gathering I very much look forward to each year. It was great seeing my brothers, old and new.
Mark your calendars now for the 3rd Annual-First Inaugural Retreat: 10/2/2021.
And still the champions – Gumbo & Vinny (‘Stache Bros)!
Anonymous quotes from our gathering:
“Sure, but I haven’t shotgunned a beer in 35 years.”
“I’d pay $30 for a Gatorade, right now.”
“Cornhole meant something different when I was a kid.”
“Gumbo & Vinny are unstoppable.” – All of you said this at some point.
“Fore.”
“Are we at a Megadeth concert”?
“Pretend like they are North Koreans.”
“Who brought the school desk?”
(Feel free to add any additional, and very much unattributed quotes from the day).
Love you clowns.
Brothers, this year’s Retreat will once again be held at the Gomer Pyle family compound in Amelia. Gates will open at 2:00 PM.
Site Address: Text me (804-852-0800) or see Gomer Pyle. For security reasons, the address will not be posted here .
Cornhole: Gumbo and I look forward to defending our title. Two man teams need to start forming now so that E.F Hutton can set up the brackets. Teams should be comprised of members from different nano-regions. Please use the sign-up sheet on Google Docs. This – double elimination tournament – will start at 2:00.
BYOE: Bring your own everything, plus anything you want to share with the group. Last year Rosie donated 100 oysters to the cause. We will have Circle K’s massive grill, but if you want to smoke something, a la Shakedown, you’ll need to bring your own smoker, etc.
Camping: We will be camping out for one night. Bring tents, truck beds, whatever you will need.
Organized Events: Other than cornhole, there will be none. This event is not about working out – we do that all year round. This is a 2nd F event! There will be other lawn games available for impromptu fun. Last year this format worked very well. Simply hang out and enjoy yourselves.
Looking forward to it!
F3: Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Fall is upon us and the cold months of Winter will be setting in before you know it. For many, life is comfortable, warm, and stable, the choices we have made along the road have led us to right here where we are being called upon to lead in a world that desperately needs leaders to step up and take action in the community.
Starting October 1st the men of F3 RVA are being called upon to help those men of Richmond that are in need of a small gesture of help. Over the 31 days in October the challenge is to collect 62 pairs of new or gently used mens/boys shoes or boots that will be donated to a men’s shelter the 1st weekend of November before the cold Virginia winter sets in. For every pair collected, YHC will buy a corresponding set of new socks to go with them.
Point of Contacts (POC)s have been spread out around the region with YHC tasked with collecting from the POCs every week at the Saturday AOs (Grid Iron and DogPile).
SOJ: (South of the James) POC: Dr.Try Hard
West End POC: HoneyDo
Da-Ville: POC: Spit
These #HIM will collect your donations at the weekly M-F AOs and bring them to the Saturday AOs for consolidation.
Let’s make a mountain of shoes and socks men. I know you have pairs in the back of the closet just collecting dust and your 2.0s have outgrown a few pairs as well.
SYITG!!!

Fellas, we are going to postpone tomorrows BBQ at the Hardywood family farm in Amelia. We have a brutal case of poison ivy that has taken down the M. We are gonna get her back in good shape and reschedule soon.
So sorry for the late notice.
Your pal,
Hardywood
An extraordinary THIRTY gloom warriors posted this morning to our SOJ inaugural PuppyPile at NoToll, with a few brave men outnumbered at least 3-1 by a veritable herd of adventure-energized 2.0’s! An entirely intimidated DTH noted perfect conditions – sunny, 70 degrees, 0700 – and off we went!
