Seven strode onto the hard courts of south Richmond for the latest presentation of Batteau, Pickleball Edition. Conditions court side remained 70 and sunny. According to the neighbors calling 911 with reports of noise violations, the following might have happened. Quick disclaimer. But, not THAT disclaimer.

Mutually assist in avoiding obstructions. Lap 2: parking space tracers, sideways slides, Bernie Sanders, etc. YHC completely forgets Disclaimer and destroys one…

According to the startled, headphone wearing solo female runner, the following might happened: Boulevard Bridge / Nickel Bridge / 50 Cent Bridge / Fiddy Cent Bridge to Buttermilk Trail, eastbound. Some took the “lariat” before most turned at Reedy Creek. Forest Hill loop, some went clockwise, some counter-clockwise (and do not expect YHC to know which way is clockwise). It’s Sunday; no thinking is recommended or required. Some then headed BTTVSF for 7 miles. Some headed to…

Eight came to whack the ball around in the latest edition of The Batteau, Summer Pickleball Edition. Temperatures were, once again, 70 and sunny. According to ESPN’s SportsCenter coverage, the following might have happened: COP. Mosey around the courts, watching for the occasional court drying equipment or ball barrier. Work in a few reps of shuffling side-to-side or Bernie Sanders to get the muscles loose. SSHs, Dead Man Hang, and a little bit of broga. Onto the Main Event. Doubles. Fun was had. Wind was a factor. Rain held off. Nice work, gentlemen. Great games today. Numbers, names, and YHC…
