First post to Rush Hour and YHC has the Q. Familiar site and area of operation. However, I did not anticipate the traffic – what a difference there is between 0545 and 1745. And at this time of year, it is still gloomy so felt right at home.
What to my wondering eye should appear, it is Riptide, and he is running in!?!?. Seems odd, Rip is not really the EC/Insomnia/Running type, but hey – people change……………..NOPE, train stopped on track so Riptide double parking in a handicap spot, abandoned ship and ran on in. YHC likes the effort. Angry Elf just waited for the train and was only 1 minute late.
With a busy plan and now one less minute – time to get moving.

NMS:
– YHC really enjoyed Rush Hour. Evening time frame rarely works for me but glad it did.
– I learned what a weasel chaser is. Weasel chaser = PAX who will actively chase/run down a sad clown to recruit him to join the PAX. Weasel chasers leave the PAX mid workout if necessary to accomplish their mission. Essentially sad clown hunting while posting at the AO.
– Rush hour would be a prime weasel chasing AO with the Bond Bros running group and Gladiator group.
– YHC struggled to say good evening instead of good morning to passer-bys. Maybe I just need more practice.
– Riptide was actually parked between 2 Handicap spaces, you know in the area where they exit the vehicle. However, it was noted that these handicap spaces were easily 100 yards and across a train track from the closest building. Not sure the logic there, but we guessed it met some illogical building permit requirement – so there you have it.
– All PAX sans Rip and Kyrie, joined Hermes at BB for post workout refreshments.
