  • The Case of the Purloined Polo


    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. 

    YHC was treated to a life-lesson of never leaving one’s garments unattended in the company of his fellow smart-asses, while also paying closer attention to the fashion-choices of others – particularly those with a devious streak…(rhymes with NoDoz).

  • Not That Complicated

    All returned safely, wet, and fully satisfied.  Call it a successful morning despite a couple of crazies on Westham and Patterson.  Don’t ever let someone tell you Westham is a flat run.

    Prayers for Hitch, Allen Family, Whitesnake’s father

  • Spider Run sans the Derby

    A half a dozen chose to eschew a baseball-derivative workout and work on their own 6 pack instead.

  • Only One More Finger

    Ten Spider regulars plus Roscoe stepped out of their cars only to question if it was a good choice. In the end, it was a good choice.

    The Route

    • West towards and around the baseball field, crossing college and through fraternity row
    • Right on Hampshire then another right on Hampshire to Ridge Top
    • Right on Chandler to the top and back then right on Ridge Top
    • To Patterson then return and right on Durwood Crescent
    • Right on Horsepen to Patterson then return
    • 4s keep going on Horsepen back to the flag
    • 5s/6s turn right on Durwood Crescent
    • Right on Borden to Patterson then return to a right on Durwood Crescent
    • 5s take a left on Westham to Lakewood then back to the flag
    • 6s right on Westham to Patterson and return to a right on Woodberry

    That’s about as thick as it gets in Richmond. Kudos to my 9 brothers for owning up to the challenge and tackling a very hilly route. Pace was altered accordingly.

    Question of the day is were there any deuces left for Upchuck?

    Splinter out.

  • SPIDER RUN – ALL CAPS EDITION

  • Dumb and Dumber

    8 gents arrived, including Splinter who was not taking requests for passengers today…

    A prescribed out and back across the bridge was administered.

    Fall weather can’t come soon enough….

  • We card under 30

    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.
