2 HIMs emerged for an OTB pre Lumberyard Ruck or Run this gloom! We departed on our own journeys as 1 rucked and the other ran, but we got to enjoy the same beautiful sunrise and witness a sketchy car pull in and out of the park lot quickly. We met back up just in time to get after the main event at The Lumberyard!

Pull Ups and Dips are Back!
Pool Boy and Big Rig were back at Ecoff Elementary for the first pull up and dip session since the bars froze! Now that everything has thawed out, it should be a regular occurrence again.

Dinner Date with Redwood Ruckers
202 days until GTE-74, and seven ruck studs accepted the DTH invitation to trail-blaze new territory and enjoy a romantic dinner at The Galley along the way. Launched from The Forge at 1500 and crossed the tracks into no-mans woods behind HHS and Walmart, looping around and back to the tracks to cross under Chippenham, all PAX impressed with the quality of the dirtbike trails throughout the woods, ad we momentarily paused to thank the dirt bike Gods on the top of an unusual dirt mound mountain. Second loop around the woods behind Target/Publix, finding a few ravine/creek crossings challenging (the motor boat was not used…) Then emerge for a fine dining experience at The Galley. Appetizer of biltong jerky courtesy of Sable. Falcon Smash and Galley Burger – YUM – now where’s the Pepcid?! Our return was a much more direct shot BTTVSF hugging trails along the railroad (we will return someday for the abandoned tractor tire…) Total distance covered approximately 5.15 miles. Amazing conversation enjoyed back all. Epic adventures! More OTB rucks planned monthly between now and GTE-74 in September. ANYONE welcome to join – plenty of spare rucks on hand. Yours AYE! ~DTH

These Rucks Ain’t For Free!
2 of New Kent’s 2026 best ruckers are on a mission to log the most miles rucked in a year! We staked our SF’s at the park entrance and got started a few minutes ahead of 0600 to log some distance on the extra credit ruck. Let’s keep it going Commando!

Rucketman
Two HIMs met for an off the books rucking extravaganza. They met at the RounTrey Stop Sign (IYKYK) and undertook a 3ish mile ruck.
Good conversation was interrupted when a rocket, launched from Cape Canaveral, streaked across the sky. Discussion of the physics of space travel, escape vs. exit velocity, and the terrifying prospect of re-entry asymptotes ensued.
Check slack for announcements.

Space X Rocket Siting!
YHC got up and out early for an OTBs Recovery Ruck after going hard at Mammoth yesterday. I reckon I was the only one the needed recovering so it was just me. Ruck lasted about 70 mins, covering 4.25 mi. At a pace of 16:30/mi
Got to witness and record the Space X Falcon 9 flying at sunrise. That was cool!
Friday & Saturday Q spots are still open for Loco Motion and The Lumberyard! Come get some!

Speaking of Penetration
Too many guys out at OTB today for a run/ruck/walk to not post a Backblast. Plus there was a perfect BB title thrown out as a questionable segue at coffee.
1-hour of activity for everyone regardless of speed, weight carried, or species. Runners thrived with some slow miles although a couple tried to pull away, only to be drawn back by lack of directions.
Ruckers/walkers were dragged along by a couple of canine friends that were rewarded with pup cups at the end.
The most consistent and longest running OTB workout in the land continues. Beware of the rucker text thread Salt Lick – you’ve been warned.

Uncharted Territory!
3 emerged for a ruck full of sunshine! YHC got a little crazy this gloom and kicked off the Pre Lumberyard ruck with a trip across Pine Fork Road into Pine Fork Terrace(the smallest street in New Kent County). We made our trek through the park neighborhood and around the park trail logging 3.13 miles before Wonka kicked us off with the Lumberyard, but YHC will let him tell you all about that in his BB.

The Extra Mile
2 early risers emerged for an OTB ruck shortly after 05:00 to get a head start on a long ruck and/or run. YHC went for a fastest mile run while Choo Choo got a head start on a long ruck, I’m certain I witnessed him doing some weighted vest merkins under the parking lamps. YHC joined in on the ruck afterward. It’s always nice to catch up with the PAX in the gloom.
It was great hanging out with you in some warmer conditions! -
These streets aren’t going to Ruck themselves
Feeling the high of Mondays birthday Q, 4 HIMs hit the mean streets of RounTrey with some pep in our step.
Gather at the stop sign, cross checked the “thumbs up” from the night before with the faces in the gloom…we were a little light but off we go!
Usual loop with great chatter amongst the HIMs. Good to get out there and put some work in!
