Well. It’s been a week. After a rare day off work last Friday, and having such a blast with a spelling bee at Danger Zone, I remembered how fun it is to Q. You never realize how bad you are at being a Q until you don’t do it for a long time, then try to jump back in the ring. DZ was a little different; I had a plan, and willing pax, and it was an out-and-back…what could go wrong? [Read More]

It was a chilly 31 degrees at 5:15 when I rolled up to Hells Bells today. The first thing I’m notice is Kwik Stop (sans shirt of course) in what can only be described as VIOLENTLY flipping a tractor tire across the parking lot while listening to heavy metal music on his ear phones that it hurt my teeth! Then Roasters and Left Cheek come strolling in from their 4 mile EC run at full friggin’ gallop. [Read More]

YHC’s anniversary tour continues at Field of Dreams. Theme today is ‘60’s. Fantastic playlist in queue plus this is usually a well-attended AO, so especially excited for this one and arrived 30 min early to reacquaint myself to the site. Overflow had his earbuds in expecting a solo EC - he ended up joining YHC along with Sunshine and PBX for a couple miles - great mumblechatter as to be expected with 75% Steves. [Read More]

Decades Day 2: Measure Twice 50's

Posted on March 10, 2022 | 3 minutes | 522 words |

Day Two – and the first “official” AO day. As a new site Q for Measure Twice, felt like a perfect setting to continue the week. The site moved from the original Carpenter Park location (hence the AO name) to Northwest Park, technically in Morrisville. This is primarily due to access to RTP Trails, which normally would have fallen on this day. After some pre-blasting to the regulars to ensure no mutiny, YHC decided to stick to the regular paved loop. [Read More]
