Riddler in the Ruin

3

A Spinal Tap worthy 11 embarked on what could have been a snowy run. This is the route, more or less, as narrated by the woodland holiday deer illuminated in the yards.

Down the road past the lake and loop up to the Robin’s Center parking lot. 4s/5s cut through the fraternity row fence line while 6s climb Boatwright to Three Chopt.

4s veer left on Baldwin to Westham, while 5s veer right on Horsepen and a left on Woodberry to Westham. 6s take a left on Three Chopt, a left on Patterson, and a left on Westham.

Cruise on Westham, cross River, and drop down Westham Station to pick up the bat cave back.

Backblast name is taken from a miscommunication during a running conversation with Shakedown. It sounds pretty fitting. There were also some good movie references to Billy Madison and Spinal Tap this morning.

YHC took us out.

  1. Good route Lockjaw. It was short as you (and Sippy) declared, nevertheless still enjoyable.

    Good luck to all the geriatrics out there (existing or budding).

  2. Yeah, it was about a tenth shy for the 5s and 6s. I will make it up to you next time so that you get your money’s worth!
