Yep. They still ride bikes on Sunday at Dirt Church. Unfortunately, they do a poor job of backblasting about it… let’s catch up, shall we? Sunday before last, Pullout and I rode a gravel and road lap in a bit of rain at Gravel Church: Round Four. No Profit — he was Climbing to Beat Cancer. Dunno where Jenny Craig was with his badass bike. It was just the two of us. It was intimate… close… almost loving. And we rode bikes, too. Not going to say much more to say about that. Last week, Pullout was…

Apologies to any UF visitors who sat in those chairs later in the day. Great times. Thanks Rosie & Honeymoon.

12 mighty athletic specimens showed up on Columbus Day to honor the great explorer of the Bahamas. For 10/8 the weather seemed a tad humid but that just means more sweat coming out.

4 men broke the hold on this Columbus Day/Indigenous People Day holiday Monday morning to start the work-week off right…with some miles. The traditional Tarrington route was called and off we went with Shakedown and McFly leading the way. It was dense and foggy in patches. Overall it was a slog but everyone pushed through. Well done guys. Great to have Wheelbarrow back out and looking to get back into the routine. Well done brother. COT, Number-rama, Name-a-rama and YHC took us out. Announcements: CSAUP 10/20 – road, trail, foot, bike – come get some miles in any way you…
Three men and a Sallydog went out this fine morning for a Sunday Funday trail run. YHC saw Furley show up and take off early but he may have not seen the rest of us. Maybe next time. We took off across the bridge to the south side and planned to cross Belle to return up Northbank. Fudd wasn’t feeling well and mentioned almost passing out so we let him lead the pace (bro code) and when he decided to turn back we went with him. He insisted that he’d be ok but was told he joined the wrong gang…
The river is running high and it’s warm out so two warriors took to the trails Thang Buttermilk then north bank. 7 miles. NMS This was Tippecanoe’s first ever Trail Run and I have been looking forward to getting him out there for some time. His cross country coach wanted them to do an easy 6 miles this weekend – I guess he got the bonus plan . 9:15 min miles on the trail are easy, right?
2 troopers gathered in the fall heat for a 7 mi run. Route is the main drag through Church Run, Windsor Place and Wellesley neighborhoods connected by three chopt road. Nice 8 min pace. YHC took us out.
