We gathered in the gloom on a surprisingly foggy morning to try out a new route on the roads less traveled in Windsor Farms. 4s–South across Cross Cary onto Berkshire which turns into Sulgrave. Out and backs on Long Ln, Stockton Ln, St. Davids Ln, Marston Ln. Return on Gun Club, L on Queen Charlotte to Cary, Malvern to Grove back to flag. 5s–Same as 4s, but add in Clovelly Rd. with a fork on Lynton Ln. 6s–Same as 5s, but from Berkshire turn R onto Dover and then L on Lock Ln to end. R on Park which takes…

Out-and-back on Grove toward VCU. 23 minutes out, 22 minutes back. Simple directions, even I could remember them. But you have to do a negative split so keep the pace in mind. The Groups: The Sixes (Splinter, Marv, Sippy Cup, Garbage Plate): Made it all the way to Belvedere. Probably the furthest any RAMM has ever gone. At this rate, they’ll be in New Kent by the holidays. The Fives (YHC, Splinter, Chippendale, Saab): Nearly hit VCU. Topics of conversation included traffic signals, diverging diamonds, roundabouts, and the delicate social differences between “butt dial” and “booty call.” Productive, as always.…

Ahhhhh….the weather continues to be splendid on these late August mornings as a handful of F3 stalwarts gathered at Mary Munford’s elementary school for a jaunt around the near west end. As always, our good friend Hitchhiker showed up as the crew was leaving…with no 4s to join. It was mentioned that Hitch can do a triatholon so there’s really no reason he couldn’t easily keep up with the 6s. Especially wiht Phonics in the house. (Great to run with Phonics this morning, by the way! Best of luck to his crew this weekend in a intercollegiate cross country meet…

Five runners, six professionals, and 4 amateurs set off toward the Carillon and other parts unknown. The Routes Runners – Reverse Carillon Pros – T-Pot, War Memorial, elsewhere Amateurs – Carillon, Burpee Lake, Insect Hell Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN The real gearheads seemed surprised to find 3 schlubs ready to cruise. Bone joined a bit late to make four. The schlubs were cruising too, at least until they circled Burpee Lake and passed through the 3rd and 4th plagues of Eqypt. No less than 268 Gnats were swallowed per man. Nevertheless all made it back safely. The amateurs covered 7.42…

Somewhere between 12 and 16 able-bodied pavement warriors gathered in the forbidden parking lot for today’s RAMM/RAMM Gears. The few runners were quickly swarmed by the gears crew prior to launch. Luckily, a few more runners arrived right as we launched so numbers were relatively even. Variations of the Clovelly route were called: 4s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/evbak6d65s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/gfkphqr36s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/3f7djt48 Fartleks weren’t even discussed. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Moleskine The runners all remembered that darn goon Clovelly being much longer and deeper than experienced today (here come the jokes). It is still a good alternative offshoot to throw in there from time to time.…

A mix of regulars, summer tourists and a downrange visitor convened for the most recent edition of RAMM. YHC had posted the routes the night before but reviewed them once more for good measure. 4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/5eha4kmp 5s: https://onthegomap.com/s/3tsk0njm 6s: https://onthegomap.com/s/0g6mfb69 Numbers / Names / Announcements YHC took us out.
