Eleven port-o-jon fanatics huddled in our favorite Tuesday morning gathering spot for this 9/9 edition of Spider Run. After warning shots were fired on multiple slack channels yesterday, to minimal grumbling, brief instructions were offered. Only one dissenter today. By all accounts he still had fun.

YHC’s return to running from a permanent taper has left things rusty and ripe for improvement. The route however, was a classic. 4s, 5s, and 6s ascended out of the AO and had various routes taking in the Grove area and Westham. YHC took us out.

Mischief and Hijinx were afoot today as a lucky 13 arrived to run, bike, and walk. Runners were treated to incorrect road-signage-designation courtesy of YHC.
