Foiling NTB’s plans for a bromance ruck with DTH, 8 SOJ studs converged at Huguenot Flatwater to take on some trails and hills. NTB’s route took us along the HFW trail out to Riverside Drive, then a Right on Shirley, up the big hill to the top, hairpin turn Right on Custis, and back down to Riverside Drive and HFW. Overall about 2.5 miles. Phenomenal chatter and a big welcome to Purple Rain making his ruck debut. We might make this a regular Wed AM thing. SYITG! ~DTH

A blast of cold came upon us, yet did not deter from getting out there for another Saturday morning ruck. Big Rig is in marathon training so he had the run part going, we ventured up and down the path using the hills as a way to strengthen the legs plus mind. There’s has been work with getting rid of dead trees and smoothing out the hill nearest to the far end(fact there’s a nice pile for training). The highlight was as we made a turn, someone was enjoying a little alone time, when he saw the lights come around,…
10 beasts showed up this morning for a good ole’ slippery when wet workout at Satan’s Hill.
