We ran around Mary. Watch the traffic circles.

A dozen tolerated the resurgence of humidity for a stroll down the road. Grove to Woodlawn to Leonard to Wisteria to Patterson. West on Patterson turning on Maple for 4s, 5s go to Chanticler and then back to Maple, and 6s went all the way to Three Chopt and back to Maple. Maple to Grove to home. Wheelie took us out. Moleskin: Once again TYA is a fashion pioneer.

With the BRR Pax getting ready to start their adventure further west, a half dozen runners and a lone biker represented today. East on Grove, rt on Thompson, left on Cary, left on Kennsenton. 4s turn left on Commonwealth, 5s on Lexington to Grove, and 6s on Harlan to Roslyn to Grove. Some opted for a slight detour to see the sights on Monument. Marv took us out. Several BRR memories resurfaced for the Pax after COT including a reenactment of Marv’s skunk tale. Ask him about it sometime.

A bunch of early morning runners and a biker or two embraced the gloom and excellent running weather. The stars were out, the moon crescent, and Upchuck had his shirt off and was working on his tan….basking in the moonlight. Routes – West on Grove with 4s turning right on Libbie and 5s/6s taking the Henri access road to St Chris. Both routes exit on Patterson where you head east. 4s/5s take Antrim back to Grove and 6s take Nansemond. YHC took us out. Good luck to those running the BRR next week! It will be an epic of a…

A lively and plucky bunch, most of whom were looking for some relief of the humidity by way of a bicycle, showed up at Mary Munford’s Elementary School on Friday. It’s been really, really hot lately…like, the kind of heat that when you walk outside you just get mad. It’s August, so it’s really no one’s fault that it is so hot, but when someone recommended an Amateur RAMM Gears, it seemed to make sense to a good amount of people. YHC originally signed up to lead the PAX on a jog around the near west end…maybe a new route…

A much delayed account of a RAMM run and bike ride for big data.

While it was reported to be an extra muggy morning, it was actually 70 and sunny as always. A smaller group launched at the standard time and ran 4 or 5+ miles. Group ran across Commonwealth, down Monument and turned at the appropriate point and returned up Grove. A larger group continued their prep for the BRR with an earlier start and knocking out 8+ mile runs. Good work! RAMM Gears posted as well – if I missed anyone please let me know.

Without Lockjaw’s presence and his arsenal of routes, a Q was quick established and an out and back was chosen: Commonwealth to Monument (east)…23min out and 22 back. Some chose to reverse those times. Bikers biked, early risers did reverse-Patterson, and others just rolled their own. Saab abides

East on Grove, left on Lafayette, left on Cutshaw, left on Chantilly/Bunting, left on Grove. Take a right on E Locke and pick up Locke to Dover. 4s turn on Berkshire and5s turn on Canterbury back the VSF. Shakedown took us out.
