A Strangers Fist

2

Sixteen men on a mission to better themselves huddled around the hood of a blue truck, trying to decipher the pre-posted routes on a 4 inch mobile screen. The PAX was forewarned on Slack of the Qs anticipated hot arrival. YHC arrived with three minutes to spare. Plenty of time to review the routes (twice) before launch.

The Route
4s, 5s, and 6s all took basically the same route today, with the only variation being the number of Horespen/Ridge Top loops.

  • Head west around the baseball field and left on College
  • Right on Lakewood to Westham
  • Right on Westham to Baldwin
  • Right on Baldwin and continue on Baldwin across Wood with runs by the backside of fraternity row
  • Slight left and the road turns to Horsepen
  • Up Horsepen to right on Patterson
  • Right on Ridge Top
  • 5s & 6s continue down Ridge Top and take a right on Horesepen and repeat the loop, with 5s only going halfway up before taking a right on Devon. 6s go all the way to Patterson
  • On the final descent down Ridge Top, left on Chandler, right on Gardiner, left on Wheeler, through the lit path and back to the VSF via Campus/Gateway
  • 6s touched the top of Chandler before finishing on Gardiner

By all accounts, the route was successful. Sixteen started and sixteen finished (relatively on time). YHC had the pleasure of being in the company of Saab during the run and he quickly proclaimed this route was like another fist but with the middle appendage extended. Hence the name of this BB. Not the normal fist, but a stranger’s fist.

Great catching up with Sippy today. Congrats on the recent achievements.

Enjoy the day fellas.

  1. Great route. Nice weather, finally. Really enjoyed having a cultured discussion with Swiper regarding the Greek role in Crimean history and the spawn of the Bubonic Plague.
