Ten traversers-of-the-ballsack, gathered in the waning darkness for today’s RAMM. Gumbo arrived staring at his phone, likely studying the route.

Cold, brisk winter temps We converge ready to go Which route will be called? West we went with speed! Underground explorer’s tales A maze beneath us Are those people sounds? An unholy convergence Decor by Satan Awkward pleasantries Cult membership was denied Back to the sermon Pax in disbelief Was it true or was it false? Mysterious ways YHC took us out.

Five runners and one rider converged at the corner of Commonwealth and Grove on a misty morning to start the weekend right. With no one on the Q sheet, we caucused and agreed to head to Monument then go east. We cut over to Grove at various points and headed back to where we started. With a light mist and cool weather, it was an ideal morning for a run.

Though coincidental, the route called today is the classic Reverse Carillon. After a little bit of explanation – including the fact that the reverse route is the dominant direction – off we went. Good conversation along the way as perspectives were shared. The two blocks of sudden November Rain (cue the GNR song) was a nice surprise. OBT took us out.

11 by foot and 1 by road bike converged this morning. We headed east to then pick up Hanover for the Halloween tour. Some decorations were out, but not as many as prior years, probably due to the time remaining until Halloween. Moleskin: Its always the simplest things that turn out providing entertainment. That is definitely the case with this group with the parking lot as our canvas! Things can appear skinny, long, or droopy, with the right angle from the light. Marv took us out and did it well.

We ran north, crossed broad and worked our way through a redeveloped area. Heading south on Staples Mill, we then continued further south on Chantilly. Routes diverged at Patterson, based on mileage. OBT took us out
