Mary Munford Elementary
I can’t wait to be on the road again…..and neither did some of Richmond finest PAX. We headed east on Grove, left on Rosneath, and right on Monument. Right turns were made on the Blvd, Strawberry, and Allen. Everyone took Floyd west to then pick up Grove.
YHC took us out.
Some dudes ran from Munford Friday morning. Grove route was chosen since there was no one on the Q sheet and we had some new RAMM folks show up. TYA confirmed the hips don’t lie, Saab abides.
There were others, some gear people, that I didn’t see or tally up. Apologies.

A group of people ran, rucked, or rode and seemed to have a good time doing it.
Despite the low volume there was little Takeover. 3 formidable fiends and one 4 legged friend on crutches knocked out varying ranges of miles and meters.
Brief discussion about those who are abroad and across the pond.
Great to see TYA do laps around Mary despite 2 days after surgery….the man is intrepid…much respect.
Hitchhiker wants YOU to play pickleball…. apparently that’s a thing….

The gravity of Mary Munford was strong this am, pulling people in at 0530 and once again at 0615. Runners all did the same thing. Riders did something. Here is what the runners did.

Great to see faces of those that have battled health challenges and to have them back out tackling the day. There was also an instance of someone who miraculously has already recovered from surgery that has not yet happened.
YHC wants to specifically thank Pigskin for navigating me through the fog this morning. There were points where I was running backwards and didn’t even know. Thanks!

Have a phenomenal weekend everyone.
A 14 Biker Runner Combo descended upon Mary Munford to attack the day. YHC was originally planning on tagging along with Bodos, Fudd and Splinter since this was my first post at RAMM, but alas they are out of town and there was no Q. Here’s the boring rectangular route with all left turns YHC came up with :
4’s : From Mary Munford, head down Commonwealth towards Patterson, Left on Patterson, Left on Maple Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF
5’s : After finishing the 4’s route, left on Commonwealth, Left on Patterson, Left on Bunting Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF
6’s : After finishing the 5’s route, left on Commonwealth, Left on Patterson, Left on Bunting Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF (so same route as 5’s but you’re repeating the last leg an additional time)
Bikers did their THANG
DONE
Numbers, Names, YHC took us out

EF Hutton’s challenge for March was to do something different than the usual. What a great way to end the month of March and complete the challenge. Well done boys. I think we had a good time, only lost a couple of folks but they found us. No flats this year, so today was a good day.

Time to celebrate St Patty’s Day with a Pub Crawl! Grove to Lafayette to Broad and head east. Take a tour of Scott Addition and cut back on your respective cutover streets to Grove and back to the AO.

The title was in reference to a comeback TYA had been working on for the interim week and homage to the classic Seinfeld episode.
West on Grove and a right on Bunting to Chantilly. Take a right on Monument and find your southbound cutover based on distance. 4s at Cleveland, 5s at Robinson, and 6s at Allen. Take to Grove and come on home.

11 polar bears came to walk, run, or pedal through some freezing weather. We kept the conversation brief at the end to return to the wrap cars, but the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror was definitely referenced.
Shakedown took us out.
