But they still won’t get as much tail as TYA after a neighborhood hill run… 6 stallions descended upon the hills-of-Hillcrest to push through the heat and tackle some elevation. Varying distances were had and some even ran with a weight vest (name rhymes with curly…). Thanks to TYA for his hospitality in offering cold drinks afterward, and showing the PAX how to properly attract some passing milf’s and show why Bostonians are still known as the first REAL tea-baggers.

A fine 9 took on what awaited at the Wednesday SOJ AO for near perfect weathered morning. While forging the mighty James YHC noticed the ETA for the arrival at Midlothian Middle read approx. 5:33am. YHC then knew that rolling in on two wheels was the only option to meet an already gathered PAX, who anxiously awaited the Q for this week’s edition of Source of Truth. My inner Charlottean (read: aspiring Nascar Driver) must have had all cylinders clicking because YHC pulled into the lot at 5:29. Without missing a beat we took off for COP at starting time.…
