NMS:

It was great to be back at Gridiron; the cauldron that forged F3RVA.  This AO is not as frequented as others, but offers so much ground to cover.  We barely scratched the surface this morning.

The Honeymoon Suite Beast was performed in front of a Tomato running group using the upper track.  This prompted Hardywood’s declaration that “this isn’t a cult”.  If Offshore was present, I am sure we could have done a 7th round incorporating the elusive upright APDs into the mix.

It was great to see familiar faces on the summer tour, old friends, and new folks from the Short Pump nano region.  YHC, Sugar, Shake, and Hardywood were asked which state we were from which prompted our response of “Richmond”.  This is the beauty of the Summer Tour:  bringing people together across RVA.

Announcements:

• Puppy Pile next weekend – Bring those 2.0s
• Weekly paddle group – see Lockjaw if interested.  I will be out there this weekend.

Time to Taper,
