As a show of solidarity with our Pax who are kicking off the BRR this morning, YHC called the Snake River route.  Snake River lives up to it’s name with a bit of bite in the hills. We headed west on Grove to Granite and a left on Granite to Cary.  Dogleg left and take a right heading down Tempsford. 4s take the left fork and retrace their steps back to Grove to the AO. 5s do the left and right forks and then Granite to Patterson to Westmoreland to the AO. 6s do the left and right forks twice…

Twenty Four gentlemen ran decided to start this Friday off right by biking or running.  Before 5:30 AM, several PAX members preparing for the BRR took for additional miles.  At 5:30 AM, the professional and amateur bikers left.  This is what the rest of the running PAX did. The Thang Using Brocode, run east on Grove and take a left onto Antrim.  Run to Thomas Jefferson High School.  Pair up with a running equal and then alternate running 400s for about 24 minutes.  PAX members ran 7 to 9 400s.  Some PAX members did a slow lap around the track…

Many Pax by foot and bike welcomed Fall weather to the RVA.  Despite Marv’s constant pleading to run the Carillon route, we elected a new Lockjaw route of a trapezoidal nature with several dog leg turns. It was great running with EF Hutton and Phonics – good company, conversation, and pace. Puppy Pile tomorrow – 7:05 – Carillon.  See Marv for details.  Bring your kids. Time to Taper, Lockjaw

24 descended upon Mary to see where their legs and wheels would carry them.  After Splinter provided a quick translation of the Belizeian word for “Hello”, we were off.  Runners covered distances ranging from 4 to 8 miles, and every distance in between.  Bikers covered all that is RVA. YHC’s Lab Rat-esque apology goes to the 4 and 5 milers, who got slightly lost – but gained extra distance – thanks to poor instructions from the Q. Announcements: Puppy Pile next Saturday Dirt Church coming to a back blast near you Saab Abides

13 of RVA’s finest posted this morning by foot or pedal.  Here is what happened, more or less. The Routes: East on Grove and north on Malvern.  Take Broad St east.  4s take Belmont south, 5s take Davis, and 6s take Lombardy; all southbound to Grove.  West on Grove the the VSF. Swirly took us out. With Lockjaw’s summer tour closed out, it was a welcome return to the Friday RAMM.  YHC wanted a nice and simple route and upon delivery of instructions, not a single question.  Mission accomplished. Broad St is under development with the new Pulse bus line…

Fifteen on foot and fifteen* on wheels posted at Mary this morning in between raindrops.  A couple few 2.0’s made it out despite the early hour, and two FNG’s got named.   The cycling went a little something like this: Out the back and down Cary.  Dive into Windsah Fahms, and out via Portland.  Douglasdale.  Hang a right and boogie down to Byrd Park for a lap around and between the lakes.  Get rained on like a champ.  Over to, and around the lake with the fountain in it.  Climb up to Boulevard and roll, en masse, respectfully following all…

9 studs posted on a Friday morning for normal F3 activities, running and biking.  There were 5 runners and 4 bikers.  Routes varied, but lots of hard work was put in.  Swirly and TYA went for an 8 mile jaunt through windsor farms and by the carillon.  Bootleg, Lug Nut and Pullout meandered through the west end neighborhoods to log their miles.  The normal bikers were accompanied by Wedding Singer today who was a hitting RAMM gears as part of the summer tour.  Not sure what kind of bike he had, but I am envisioning a tricycle with big wheels.…

24 – Now that has to be a record of sorts.  Great weather brings out great runners. YHC went over the routes a couple of times with a mixed degree of reception from the Pax.  It turned out to be effective as no one was lost. To put all route questions to rest, here is a picture of the six mile route.  5s turned at Broad St and 4s at Monument. Fudd took us out. NMS YHC wanted to revisit Broad Street, but after a show last night at Agecroft, Windsor Farms was calling as well.  Here is a route…

0513 and YHC arrived to RAMM with Big Blue present and several RAMM Gear gents doing warm up laps. Conversation prior to 0530-what time do you wake up and why? Before 0530, YHC had directions but thought it easier to state, Reverse Carillon! Saab was pointing in a direction that confused YHC but there was a 4, 5, and 6 mile group who all understood where to run, so it worked for YHC. 4 mile group….Pucker, Bleeder, Lug Nuts. 5 mile group…..Swirly, Flatline. 6 mile group…..Phonics, Sippy Cup, Marv, Saab 6 mile group took off but in a different direction…

6 runners scoffed at 6 bikers this morning for an epic showdown of pedal power versus foot power! Not really. Bikers did an awesome trip around the bike loop that the pipeline is a part of in the dark.  It was way cool.  Unfortunately, our FNG did not get the memo that is was MTB day and brought a road bike.  He broke off of the group at the Carillon and No Tools gave him a route.  He did not return to get a name. Runners did old school on Grove.  No idea what happened. Lab Rat apologizes…
