Old Stony Point ruck
Three of the F3RVA pax made it out for this morning’s edition of RH. At 4:58am YHC was considering his options had 2 of his fellow ruckers not made an appearance. Thanks for the company! Given the conditions we headed into Larus where we were afforded some cover from the elements as we traversed red, green then blue and back to red trails. Till the next one.
A swarthy seven stomped around Bon Air in the post-rain gloom. Conditions were wet and nearly 70. We welcomed Bru and Coon Bait (downrange from F3 Bruco) for the first time! Some wanted to say Bru was the upgraded Sable, but we’ll wait until next week when the two Africans can square off and finally meet. We ventured all the way down McRae to Casa de Snuff where we stopped for a couple of stretches and the customary monkey humpers in the driveway. Sleep well sweet Snuff. From there we circled back through the Bon Air Baptist parking lot where we hit some ruck get-ups at each island before returning back to the Stony Point shopping center. YHC took us out.
Coffeeteria was excellent as expected as we march on towards the final third of 12 Rules for Life!
4 of SOJs RH regulars pulled up to EBs at SP @ 4:59am meaning it was on. Light banter and the the joys of parenting kept us engaged as we explored some new territory. YHC really appreciates the opportunity to get together with a group of men who are looking to make each day a little better for their families, their friends and community. Coffeerama was a little less focused on our chapter this week but we had reviewed plenty of the content from past weeks as we caught up on our ruck. Till the next one.
Announcements….check slack for any upcoming opportunities for Ultimate!
A slick and stylish six embarked on yet another trip around the Stony Point fashion park donning the seasons’ hottest rucksacks. Tales from the Ragnar trails were shared by Sable, Purple Rain snuck in the fact that he just turned 40 (no more hate!), and many other stories were shared as we covered roughly 3.25mi in 65 minutes.
April is one of YHC’s favorite months for several important reasons. In no particular order April marks the beginning of baseball season, the month I became a father, and playoff hockey! YHC had the pleasure of sharing with the PAX the headline sweeping through the NHL and the bottom third of the ESPN home page. A beloved group of elderly Korean ladies have been playing the national anthem on harmonicas to open the home playoff games for the LA Kings. The Kings had not lost at home yet and many are beginning to wonder how long they will ride this harmonica-powered freight train.
YHC took us out and over to Eisntein for a bagel and discussion on Rule 6 of Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life. Always honored to lead such fine men!
Blank Q sheet this morning, yet six adventure-seeking studs answered the call of the wild. Because I had personal guilt for avoiding the Q at Ruckhenge many times, despite it being a regular weekly post of mine, I was the first to cave at 5:30 and led the group on a hot potato to the trailhead by Trader Joe’s. I hiked us halfway in and NTB got us back out (shared Q, thank you NTB!). Great conversation abounded as it always does.
We covered just over 3 miles. Lots of altitude variance. A great discussion afterward on raising children, an ancient and confounding balancing act.
Thanks everyone, and until next time!
Four of the usual RH crowd gathered at Einsteins Bagels -Stony Point SC for a couple miles around Bon Air. We were not chased by any of the City’s Officers and we did not stop by Snuff’s abode, though we were tempted. Many topics of conversation were covered including the 4th Chapter of 12 Rules for Life – Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. Thanks gents. SYITG.
Announcements: CSAUP coming up, more fun than pain, sign up to a Team!
Six Ruckhenge regulars and one esteemed FNG gathered this morning for a ruck around Larus park and Stony Point Fashion Park. Welcome Dolly (Lee Franco – Sable’s VCU colleague)!!
We trekked the western side of Larus, crossing the Sabot School gate, and onward to Stony Point Mall. We then turned East towards the VCU outpatient center and re-entered Larus. It was at that point YHC took the PAX into uncharted territory. We encountered a very steep hill, then a downed tree, then a “private property sign”… odd…before crossing a brick wall that could only signify one thing, the back of old Sabot School. Few PAX had ever dared trespass on the private school grounds and today we found ourselves there by pure accident. We hightailed it through the grounds and back to the safety of Stony Point shopping center.
10 minutes still remain. YHC audibles to partner touch-a-pole. Descending count from 5 to 1, no pole repeats, and rucksack merkins at the center. It was at this time Dealer made the perfect connection that the rucksack merkins is the tariff-loaded merkin befitting of the times we now live in. YHC took us out where the fellowship continued inside Einstein’s for discussion of chapter 3 of 12 Rules for Life.

4 men gathered on this crisp Spring morning for a short 3.5 mile trip around Huguenot/Westchester. April fools and fraudsters were the topic of convo for much of the morning. We then felt the Bern on a couple hills before returning to Einsteins Bagels for a discussion centered on chaos and order. JP’s 2nd rule for life. Thanks for the company and discussion gents.
Announcements: Century Classic is coming up so join a team and check Slack for details/updates.
Six mates climbed aboard the H.S.S. NTB for a voyage around the Bon Air seas. One PAX was almost lost overboard when his foot caught the edge of the curb and was sent to the pavement. Our man was pulled back aboard unharmed but not before changing his name to Tripper since the rhyming was just too good. We all returned safely to the shores of Einstein bagel where we dug in to Rule 1 of Jordan Peterson’s 12. Scram asked us all to rate ourselves from 1-10 though the scale was never truly defined. Hotness? Likelihood to go bankrupt? Some may never know…
Four men arrived at EB for the latest edition of Ruckhenge. Here is what they got. 3.5 miles of Larus and surrounding areas. A little over time but the conversation was strong and this continued into our kick off for the Twelve Rules For Life by J. Peterson. Thanks for the company and the discussion this morning lads.
