A dirty dozen descended upon UR to take in a nice out-and-back with as little elevation as possible… Route: Out the River Road entrance, through the shopping center, and across the bridge…then head West. 23 minutes out, 22 back. NMS: Some were questioning whether Saab would offer a “fist” and preemptively requested only one (middle) finger.

YHC rolled into BWES early this morning wondering if BRR might make River Run a solo run…no worries, OC rolled in with time to spare and Bullseye and LUGNUT…YES, the man, the myth, the warrior, LugNut rolled in with a few minutes to spare.

Two PAX once again showed up to meet in the gloom before another day of our Leadership retreat with LMR. Word around the resort is that there was a Wedding Singer sighting.
