Seventeen scintillating scalawags waited for instructions this morning, and then they came. Summit was the call, trying to resurrect a route from a few months back with some modifications. See above for the pic of the 6 mile route.
Route
– head west, across the bridge, down the gravel path and across to University
– University to left on Ralston
– Right on River, staying on the sidewalk
– Right on E Glenbrooke Circle

– 4s return the same route (closer to 4.3)
– 5s take a right at the bottom of Summit to continue on Glenbrook and complete the loop

– Left on Glenbrooke circle, compete the loop then head back home

Plenty of just in time arrivals today, enough that many missed instructions. There were enough there to hear the 4/5/6 route that it was left a surprise to others.
Plenty of hills out there today boys. Hills and darkness. The world can be a beautiful place when not distracted by our creations.

Terrific route today, Splinter. It has been awhile since we ventured that deep into the county. Appreciate the Sippy/Faceplant yell backs to my trailing carcass on when to turn right and when to turn left. Go Rams tonight, boys!
Great route Splinter !
Enjoyed the run EF. Hutton – excellent conversation with TYA on the way back in to campus 🙂
See y’all in the gloom..
Go Spiders !
Enjoyed the route Splinter! Nice to run with Offshore, Shakedown and Lug Nut. If we got lost at least we were lost together ???♂️ (Always listen to Lug Nut)
Great route. Easy to follow, I like when a circle is a circle.
You know what also has been a while, since you commented on a backblast. Thank you for your support!
There seemed to be some weird looks when I discussed the logistics of running in a circle.
Good times this beautiful morning. Prayers for TYAs redemption ?
I need to be alerted Nex time the Glenbrook loop is called, this goes past my house and In-laws house. Missed it both times so far.
Ran by my house, as well. I had breakfast(bacon) cooking at the time.
