Old Stony Point ruck
Six men dressed in all black, and one in light grey, trekked their weighted packs through the frozen tundra of Bon Air for another edition of Ruckhenge. The 20-degree air put an extra pep in our step and we covered 3.5miles before shuffling into Einstein’s bagels for coffeerama and QSource discussion with Rodeo Clown joining while on IR.
Great conversations around the topics of Trust (3.3) and Vision (3.4) but nothing was recorded for posterity.
Four lords of the gloom rucked a few miles through neighborhood discussing a variety of topics, one of which being the blatant corruption of our legal system. A resultant revelation may be that YHC’s obstinate participation in hanging a jury on a murder trial some years back may have resulted in YHC being black listed from ever again being drafted for jury duty – we’ll call that a win. Coffeerama after was awesome. Please join us in prayer for brother Doublemint who found out this morning of his Uncle Jim’s passing. And Happy Thanksgiving to all! Yours, DTH
Six ruck-humpin gloom lovers launched into Laurus following the Q who used the North Star (AKA, Sable) to navigate the pathless venture through mountains of leaves, eventually finding the tunnel and mountain bike trial up and around to Stony Point. En route Little John challenged all bridge passers and the bottle of murky grog was offered to inspire the spirit of deep thoughts. It was awesome having Brickhouse join us, and excellent Einsteinorama followed with discussion wrapping up Live Right via Correction & Targeting. Sable especially enjoyed this immersive experience. Until next time, Yours AYE! ~DTH
Right month this time. 2 ruckers and a Q-source regular gathered for a few miles of weighty discussion followed by coffeeteria this morning. Our focus was on living right which we wove into our thoughts and reflections on positive habit transfer and accountability. I really appreciate the opportunity to have these conversations and to learn and grow from each other’s experiences. Look forward to seeing more of the regular PAX for future installments
VQ week continues!
Short on pax not hills. 3 tuned in this morning to explore what new routes maybe waiting for us in the vicinity of Ruckhenge. With perfect weather and Halloween just around the corner, we wondered what we may find as we lurked from street to street. Didn’t quite get through the route that was planned but a number of new ideas were seeded. Q2.2-2.3 Influence and Missionality were our topics from the Q source today. Thanks for the thoughts and engagement guys. Looking forward to seeing more of our regulars next time! Enjoy a safe halloween everyone!

Five gloom sherpas posted to Ruckhenge for their weekly trek up the Everest of Life. With a massively devilish grin, YHC brought out a few “presents” for our lucky PAX, two 40# bags of rocks (GTE Team Weights) and a 60# sandbag. See what happens when nobody signs up to Q?!? Sharing the coupon love, the PAX took off for a big lap around the area, returned to the flag and dropped coupons to do a speed ruck lap, then returned for a Triple Check: all PAX wearing their rucks, one pair takes the sand bag for a walk while the other two groups are occupied with either coupon press or squats. With 10min left the coupons were again shouldered and the PAX did a final medium-sized lap. Mumble chatter was highlighted by many Growruck memories. Appreciated the brotherhood quality time together fellas – no better way to start the day! And Rodeo Clown joined us for some awesome QSource cofferama conversation. Yours AYE! ~DTH

6 gloom rucker HIM’s conquered the trails of Larus Park under the glow of a Hunters Full Supermoon, periodically stopping for 9 reps of various exercises. Mumble chatter was excellent as always and the PAX were joined by Broke Clown to plumb the deep truths of Prayer (Q1.10) & Study (Q1.11). Yours AYE! ~DTH
7 took the DRP and showed up at Ruckhenge for one of the freshest mornings in some time (5 early and 2 a bit later on). It was the trails of Larus this morning, traversed in a non-typical fashion with twists and turns to keep things interesting. Appreciate all the ongoing conversation and discussions of the Q.source. Today’s chapters were the Whetstone and Mammon. Are you sharpening or being sharpened in a vertical relationship, or is it less traditional? Missed a few lads this morning and hope to have their company again soon. Come and join us at the next one!
Announcements – Sober October continues, not too late to join, see slack.

Eight beasts with burdens joined up for a 3mile ruck around Bon Air in the latest edition of Ruckhenge! At 0500 we set off across Huguenot and onto McRae Rd. Along the way we discovered a newly constructed bridge and paved trail around Bon Air Elementary, which looped us back to McRae. Rather than repeat that loop we continued on to Casa de Snuff to see if he wanted us to join us for the return leg. No signs of life were observed so we trekked back to Stony Point Shopping Center for a few minutes of Broga and COT. Coffeerama was excellent as well as we discussed Q1.6 and Q1.7 of the QSource!
6 HIMs who were not water soluble, gathered in the gloom to conquer 3 miles of rucking throughout Larus Park with an extra jaunt out to Stony Point Mall. In spite of the mud and rain, no man was left behind and no man slipped in the mud. We ended on time with some stretching that may have been mistaken for a rain dance, then closed with our COT. The mumble chatter on the trail was a great prologue to our coffeeteria Q-Source discussion. We bantered about the finer points of the Jester and the M. Turns out we all had a lot of first hand experience with both. All came away enlightened and feeling ready to swim into the day.
