Several for some EC runs. 19 for the main event. A brief cluster disclaimer and mission statement was provided. Follow me jog to that Church on the right on the way to Waverly do some warm-ups and stretching. Follow me to the Mulkey, no Calyx, no NV5 parking lot entrance for some Monkey Humpers. Follow me to the nice pretty area in Waverly Place. Partner up (probably should have just counted 1s and 2s but oh well). [Read More]

The first cousin co-q (correct me if I’m wrong) was led on 8/15/19, where Speed Racer took the PAX from the window and Peeping Tom brought us round to the wall.

Warm-up: Over to the circle for ball weaves Good morning SSH Sir Fazio + Seal + Overhead + Sir Fazio Quick feet + curb merkins on 10 and 15 counts The Thang: [Read More]

Nothing like taking your phone out of airplane mode at 5:33am to see that “Hey, man, need a favor” text from your favorite jam band loving, stolen truck driving, god of a man Riptide. But that’s what we do, right? Pick a man up when he’s down, take his Q when the M is sick. Being freed to lead means stepping up and doing it. And so, gentlemen and scholars, and Callahan, I arrived at Claymore for the first time ever, ready to do what I do best: bringing the pain and concussive-like symptoms. [Read More]
