Browsing: RAMM Gears

Mary Munford Elementary

Eleven to fifteen (or more) and maybe an FNG on wheels that never returned to get his name, gathered to share embraces for those we haven’t seen in a while. Eventually the gears dudes quieted down so I could explain instructions. After some strange and inquisitive looks, Singer asked if I was giving the PAX the dong. Well, I guess so. If no one signs up to Q, you get the dong. The Route North on Commonwealth to a right on Fitzhugh Right on Malvern 5s left on Patterson, right on Nansemond, right on Grove, left on Malvern Straight into…

Thirteen survivors of leap day gathered to discuss various rituals that occur on leap day. Since that was such an enthralling conversation, YHC almost forgot instructions. Almost. The Route South on Commonwealth into Windsor Farms Berkshire to Sulgrave for 3/4 of the loop then right on Dover Right on Portland then left on Douglasdale Douglasdale changes to McCloy which dumps you into Carytown Work north with 4s turning left on Grove, 5s turning left on Patterson, 6s turning left on Monument Everyone worked their way back to Mary Numbers, names, YHC took us out after Hitch’s story of comparing city…

….According to Billy Squire on the radio this morning and verified by the skunk who left his fragrance wafting down River Road this morning. The nights may be lonely, but the roads were not. A shocking 50 degrees brought out the short sleeves and the chipping birds. West on Grove, to Libbie, to Kensington, to Maple to head east on Patterson. New ground was covered with a detour on Glenburnie north of Patterson. 4s and 5s returned via Patterson to their respective cut through to the AO. 6s headed out Willow Lawn Dr to pick up Broad and head east.…

At least four made their way around the greater school area for a RAMM run. YHC is late to posting, so let me know if I need to add anyone for big data purposes. There may have been a bike or two as well. Shakedown and I chose the YoYo route as he hadn’t had the privilege to experience this Upchuck spectacular. Unfortunately there were no other yo’s to yoyo so we just went about our business. Saab and TYA handled their own routes. COT took place in the new gazebo. Talks of the old days, laughs were had. Good…

Seven on foot and two on wheels leaned into the colder temps and hit some crisp road miles. Today’s route had some west on Grove, a little Patterson, Bromley was prominent in the route and a dip into Windsor Farms. Something for everyone. Announcements: GrowRuck – Sign up for an adventure that you are not going to want to miss. See Slack for details. HDHH – 1/17 – Slack will be the source for details. YHC took us out. It was great to connect with Hitch over coffee afterwards.

Thirteen runners and two riders took advantage of a fantastic morning to get some exercise. No haiku run today as YHC beat Lockjaw to the signup sheet. Instead, a retry of the Q*bert run. Strange sounds were emitted from Sippy then off we went. The Route Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Moleskin Trumpet nose appearsQ*bert provides a great runMarv limps back to flag Great camaraderie at coffeeteria post run. Enjoy the holiday’s everyone. Splinter out.

4 gear-changing, long-ranging gentlemen of the triangular frame launched in the head-lamp lit darkness. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the cameras monitoring the automated toll trackers on I-195, the following might have happened. Route: east on Grove, south on Malvern, east on Cary, right towards Powhite, stay left on the ramp, east to I-95, then south to 895/VA-150, west/north on 150 to Huguenot, right onto Huguenot, continue onto Cary, and left onto Commonwealth. 45 minutes on the nose. 28 miles. Nice route today. Also, good, steady pace, and nice cadence of drafting/leading. Boom. Numbers (with some prodding), Names…

Run, Ruck, Walk, it didn’t matter. I bunch of fellas showed up in terrific weather for the activities at hand. Route is posted in slack. Apparently some do not care for Number/Name-o-Rama in counterclockwise order….to the point of ignoring the Q and committing acts of treason. I am will not quit in my quest to conduct business in reverse-order…when I am so inclined. Anyway, have a great weekend fellas, and thanks for your support…at least while it lasted. Saab abides

Early morning dark Saab stayin’ warm in Swirl’s truck Singer’s watch marks the time Heading west on Grove Three Chopt splits routes by distance Returning on Grove Country club for some Gravity’s pull on the hills The owl strikes with stealth Happy hour next week Final Gravity it is Lockjaw took us out

Yeah, the routes today were a bit complex. The Pax came equipped with maps and readiness to explore roads otherwise not trodden. Cooler weather hopefully signal prime running conditions going forward. Byproduct took us out.
