Seven posted at Atlee High School on this perfect Tuesday morning for a run and ride that included a Tuckahoe traveler and a new guy. This is what we did:
The Routes:
Run: Spit and Marco Polo did the farmhouse look for just under 5 miles.
Ride: Corned Beef, Offshore, Circle K, Classified (FNG), and YHC went Atlee to Honey Meadows, to Kings Charter, to Totopotomoy to Milestone and back for just over 9 miles.
COT – Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Corned Beef took us out.
NMS
Offshore had planned on doing the Anvil Ride a week ago but with the uncertainty of having over riders, he delayed his travel for a week. Corned Beef was able to get his neighbor, Wes (Classified) to post and with Circle K joining us, it gave us 5 which felt like the amateur bike ride that YHC had been hoping for all summer. For the runners, Spit said the plan was for Marco Polo and him to run together. At 6:15 AM, it appeared on their faces that one of the runners had plenty left and one was done.
As we were riding this morning, we passed runners and walkers in the neighborhoods. It occurred to YHC why the amateur bike ride is so important. We were not concerned with how elite our bikes are or even how we looked on the bike. We were just riding for the pleasure of being out there which was great.
Announcements:
- Labor Day Convergence – Dogpile.
- 1/2 marathon and 10K at Twin Team – Coming soon.
