Ten noble steeds, including the one armed bandit, gathered in the pre-dawn for this morning’s iteration of Spider Run. Splinter commandeered the Q from Lockjaw who had it for the past month.

YHC missed an early morning bailout text canceling the other half of the planned participation in the Off The Books run. YHC showed up early anyway with a new route option in mind. The new route took me into Salisbury and some old haunting grounds. Looking forward to showing that one off soon. OTB will be on most weekends leading up to the CSAUP for those SOJ or anyone that wants to get started earlier. Check with YHC or Honeymoon to verify. Have a great week.

Everyone enjoyed themselves and we had great conversations with them. YHC’s 2.0 asked him if he could go help, but due to age restrictions, he could not.
