A lucky 7 – runners and ruckers – launched from the Spider Run pit promptly on time. The rain ended on cue and miles were covered and conversation had. Marv took us out.

Only 5 takers for Spider Run this morning. One launched early and YHC arrived to nary a soul. Tricklers arrived, first 1-800, then Chippendale, followed by a Hitchhiker in need of some solo meditation.

We were moving mountains on a glorious Tuesday morning in the lower Tuckahoe Area. Normally, a trip up Mt. Henrico includes a jaunt up Julian to what is the highest point in Henrico County…the intersection of Julian and Parham. But not today. It’s been a good 7 years or so that we’ve been meeting every Tuesday to run around the leafy hoods of Henrico County’s west end, and we’ve never gone down Ridge Road. This is partly because, for a long time, it was pretty darn dangerous. Like, “hey, I’m Lockjaw, let’s run on that dangerous two lane road this…

Routes shown below. Only 5 miler was run today with only 4 intrepids, so expect these to make a reappearance on a future date. https://onthegomap.com/s/ck0vs5b5 https://onthegomap.com/s/1d4qguii https://onthegomap.com/s/q0spditd Saab abides
