A Couple of Fingers Down Butte

Seventeen of Tuesday’s finest gathered on a near perfect morning for some fun on the southside. One FNG was late so missed launch and wandered for 40 minutes before finding some of the PAX to finish. FNG made 18 total. For Dr. Ruth, here’s what really happened:

The Route
4s / 5s / 6s
– Through the bat cave and across the river
– Take the loop and turn left (west, upriver, LEFT)
– Left on Southhampton heading south

4s
– Turn around at the first intersection and return the way you came

5s
– Continue south on Southhampton, through the 5 way intersection to Cherokee
– Reverse course and head north on Southhampton
– At the first intersection, take the left fork on to Butte
– Right on Riverside and return via the bridge

6s
– Follow the 5s on the left on Butte then a left on Rivercrest
– Left on Riverside
– Left on Waumsetta and meander up to Cherokee
– Return via Waumsetta and Riverside to the bridge and back

Numbers, names, announcements and YHC took us out.

Moleskin
Absolute perfect day for a run this morning. When EF Hutton showed up, we knew the world was in balance.

Apologies to the FNG for launching on time. However, one minute late is one minute late… I’m sure that won’t prevent you from making a repeat appearance.

Lots of great mumblechatter about bachelor parties and the appropriate pronunciation of Butte. Those, combined with Saab’s comment about a 5 finger version on the southside led to today’s backblast title.

Enjoy the day gentlemen and thanks for letting me lead.

Announcements
– Breaking bread needs summer volunteers, talk to Upchuck or just sign up on the Q sheet
