Fourteen mostly aware PAX huddled in the new gathering spot for this week’s Spider Run. The call was snake river. 4s did one, 5s did two, 6s did four. Numbers, names, announcements, YHC took us out. MoleskinAlmost everyone remembered, some were unaware, of the newly declared gathering spot for the AO. Shakedown appropriately suggested after the run that we should place a scout at the previous location for a few weeks. Noted and we will make that a practice for the month of July. Quick note about parking in the new location. After a brief discussion with a UR staff…

Thirteen gambling men tried their luck at some hills this morning, some lost and some won. YHC bet on the weather cooperating, but a freak storm surprised YHC and washed away all the hard work done the night before in preparing the hill routes and marking them out with chalk. YHC adapted, improvised and overcame and the PAX willingly followed along. It went down like this, PAX met at the typical spot, YHC then asked everyone to pair up with someone of similar running abilities. Sabb lost a bet and got stuck with YHC. YHC had Q energy and couldn’t…

18 men of power and commitment shluffed off whatever allure the Fart Sack may still possess and posted with pride to the latest edition of The Spider Run.

Marv took us out.

Twenty superbad dudes posted to Spider Run looking to score. With rumors of a house party back in the hills, they hatched a plan and off they went: 4s – UofR Drive to River Road Shopping Center; up Kanawha and back, up Panorama and back, up Highland then up and down the East Highland McNubbin and back to the flag vis River Road Shopping Center and UofR Drive. 5s – same as 4s but skip the McNubbin and go up Old Ridge, up Highland again to River and back to the flag via UofR Drive. See slide 3 of the…

Seventeen of Tuesday’s finest gathered on a near perfect morning for some fun on the southside. One FNG was late so missed launch and wandered for 40 minutes before finding some of the PAX to finish. FNG made 18 total. For Dr. Ruth, here’s what really happened: The Route4s / 5s / 6s- Through the bat cave and across the river- Take the loop and turn left (west, upriver, LEFT)- Left on Southhampton heading south 4s- Turn around at the first intersection and return the way you came 5s- Continue south on Southhampton, through the 5 way intersection to Cherokee-…

The Monday rain paved the way for a clean and pollen free jaunt around the hills of the Tuckahoe/Tuckahoe/Freeman district. After a couple of relatively flat Q’s the past couple of weeks at Spider Run, YHC decided to add some of the vaunted undulations of this part of the River City. While we have conquered Mt. Henrico a fair amount of times, I’m not sure we’ve ever hit the peak of Splinter Mountain (around 1 miles south of Mt. Henrico). Named Splinter Mountain because the 6s run by the domicile of Splinter…here’s The Thang… Head to the baseball field…go North…
