11 fleet footed warriors came out prepared for rain. The rain held off until the last mile, and by then we needed it with the heat and humidity. Routes were:
4.5s:
Left on Pump, go through Gayton light, past Lake then Left onto Waltham Dr.
Left on Chauncey Ln. Chauncey turns into Raintree across Gayton.
Raintree all way until hit Ridgefield. Left on Ridgefield then go past Pump, turn into Glen Eagles and go back on Old Prescott. This hits 4.5 miles.
5s:
Same as 4s but take right into Eagles View off Ridgefield and go until hit Glen Eagles. Head back Glen Eagles then Old Prescott.
6s:
Same as 5s but add loop around Godwin to get your mileage target.
Announcements: Service opportunity 2/26 with Gypsy. Charity needs help unpacking a donated trailer of goods for local kids. Looking for 10 PAX (including older 2.0s) to help.
NMS: Great to have 11 out, even with some regular runners missing. Nice to have Probation come out and post, having not run in 6 months. He held up fine. PAX seemed to enjoy the ample hills on this route and EF Hutton and YHC were reminded of the Century Classic route we both ran for the duration of Raintree. Gypsy took off with a sub 6 minute mile on Pump with Homer in tow. Nobody seemed to get lost as the Qs instructions were meticulous. EF Hutton is an official Currahee regular now, at least once he creates his own route and Qs it soon.

I ran that Raintree route during the Classic, too. It never ends.
BT yes I think that was EF Hutton, Swirly, Tobit, you, and I who ran that leg around midnight. I recall Raintree lasting for like 10 miles in my mind. Good times!
Good to catch you all this morning. Good times at coffee.
Congrats on the bonus, Gypsy.
