Eight of the area’s finest gathered in the light mist for today’s Spider Run. With no one reviewing routes prior to launch, one round of instructions didn’t suffice. YHC had enough and off we went, offering traveling instructions for the sixes. Today was the middle section of the turkey trot route, everything up through going south on Westham. Here are the instructions, typed out as complicated as possible.
The Route
Left out of parking lot and left in front of the Commons. Veer right around the lake and take your first left up the hill. Right at the top of the hill, behind the Greek Theatre, then right at the tennis courts, down the hill, dumping you out at the lake bridge. Left through the path, right on College, left on Lakewood then left on Westham. That’s mile 1 folks, and the end of this week’s turkey trot preview.
Everyone turn right on Sunset (aka the fake university according to Wedding Singer). Left on Ridge, right on Holmes to Ziontown. 6s go right on Ziontown to Ridge then turn around and head back, following these directions. Ziontown to University, right on Ralston. 6s continue on Ralston and do a loop around Windsor on the James before heading back on Ralston. Turn onto Rose Hill, right on Kingston, left on Gaymont, right on University. Back University, through the path, left across the bridge and BTTVSF.

4s did 4. 6s did 6. YHC was the only 5 so mother goose it was.
Apologies for the number of turns this morning. There was good intent.
