  • PRE BLAST – RAMM — Ryder Cup Route

    All – here is the planned route for tomorrow’s RAMM run.  (scroll down for those who like turn by turn directions)

    https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/copy/2258923801/

    It is a driver (sort of) in honor of the start of the Ryder Cup  that starts at 2:00 a.m. Eastern Friday morning.  Swirly should be up in time for the first tee shot.  Maybe he will broadcast coverage from Big Blue pre-run.

    Extra points for anyone in USA Colors and/or Golf Attire for the run.  See you in the morning!

    The attached route is for the 6-milers.

    5-milers (actually 5.37 so gotta bust it) – same route just without the  last lap around the Mary Munford city block.

    4-milers – same as 5-milers (no ending lap around the block) but at the beginning you will turn around at Patterson (not Broad) and head back and into Windsor Farms.

    Turn by turn:

    • Head northeast on Commonwealth Ave to Broad (or Patterson for 4-milers)
    • Turnaround and head southwest on Commonwealth back toward MM but continue across Cary Street into Windsor Farms – street name becomes Berkshire Road
    • Continue around on Berkshire Road (past Coventry Rd and past Dover Rd) until it turns into Sulgrave Road.
    • Continue on Sulgrave Road until it splits – stay left onto Canterbury Road
    • Left onto Cambridge Rd back to Berkshire Road
    • Left onto Berkshire Rd
    • Left onto Coventry Rd
    • Right onto Oxford Rd
    • Right onto Oxford Cir – continue around until Coventry Rd
    • Left onto Coventry Rd
    • Right onto Berkshire Rd and back to the Flag for the 4 and 5 milers
    • 6 milers do a last lap around Grove, Westmoreland, Cary, Commonwealth.

  • Praise the Lord, and pass the Gatorade. (preblast… Dirt Church Sundays at 0800)

    For a couple of months now, some of us have been assembling on the short street in front of the Courthouse Church of Christ for a Sunday Funday Liturgy of Singletrack and Gravel.  Non-demonenational (we’ve even had ‘cross bikes), and no-drop, with routes that can be as short as an hour and as long as twice that and change.   It’s real mountain biking, so helmets are required and you’ll want to be prepared.  Bailout points will be available for the time-compressed.  When RVA MORE closes the singletrack for weather-related reasons, this ride very easily becomes Gravel Church.  We roll at 0800.

    YHC has been riding the venue for about ten years and has seen the scene mature and Pocahontas State Park become a real MTB destination.  Plenty of old dudes (and not so old dudes, and not dudes, for that matter) are out here every weekend and you may see someone you already know.

    Come channel your inner Tinker Juarez with us (he’s 57 now, btw).
