11 braved the pandemic and exceeded the capacity for group settings to run it out. All PAX take the bat cave across the bridge and head west/upstream/to the right. Out in 22 minutes, back in 23. Felt like a holiday with everyone milling about afterwards. Apparently people are not eager to head back to the house for quarantine (cough Saab cough). Solid run folks, basically the flattest you can get out of Spider Run per Swirl, perhaps that’s why YHC claims it a few times a year. Thanks to Bleeder for the title, making reference to the shirt Saab should…
