Down Range at Dante’s

Posted on December 29, 2017 | 2 minutes | 217 words |

@mabellcarpex has encouraged all of us to get out of our comfort AO. So being the compliant guy that I am….after much consternation I took Beaker’s Q and hit the trail to the far reaches of Western Wake County….which is Dante’s Peak. Temperature in the high teens. No wind. Clear Q was hungover or perhaps even a little drunk from last evening. 6 dudes. One shovel flag. Warm Up Mosey down to the cul-de-sac SSH, Burt Jacks, Mountain climbers, GM’s, Fazio Arm Circles, Cotton Pickers. [Read More]

FC....Flying-Circus, or, Freezin' Cold?

Posted on December 28, 2017 | 3 minutes | 631 words |

This morning it was cold. No two ways about it – most definitely “brass-monkey weather” [Northern English colloquialism….Google it!]. We don’t worry too much about such minor discomforts at Flying Circus, so 11 of the strongest, bravest Unicorns ever found (in Northwest Cary on a Thursday morning) showed up raring to go at the premier AO (in Northwest Cary on a Thursday morning). This is roughly what we did…..starting at the Soccer pitches [Read More]

Q Swap

Posted on December 24, 2017 | 4 minutes | 646 words |

QIC: Boyardee, Yanni BB Author: Yanni If you roll up to any F3 AO, whether it be in your region, a neighboring region, or in another state, you can be assured that you will be greeted with the same open arms and fist bumps. The men of Dante’s Peak welcomed YHC and Boyardee with great enthusiasm and smiling faces. YHC and @mabellcarpex met a week earlier at The Earl in Pittsboro and like all F3 encounters, hit it off immediately and hatched a plan. [Read More]

MINI Death Star - SNS

Posted on December 22, 2017 | 2 minutes | 391 words |

Twas a gloomy morning with rain in sight. 50 degrees. Cloudy YHC had just finished the EC Insomnia run with Flip Flop and Shut-IN. Flipper shared words of concern to the Q, as running insomnia sometimes causes loss of memory for the later workout. Words from a HIM were accepted and we moved on. Shouts of “1Min” occurred, although it did not seem to phase the hungry PAXs as the MC continued. [Read More]

Seven PAX met in the gloom at the gloomiest AO in Carpex, but YHC was hoping for even numbers so we could partner up. At the last minute there’s Napster, coming in hot. Let’s roll. Warm-Up Mosey over to the middle school parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies, plank jacks and Sir Fazios. The Thang Mosey over to the front of the school and partner up (made sure we put the two guys recovering from the Carpex Crud together) for Dora 1-2-3. [Read More]

Christmas Train!

When the request hit groupme for a Q for Dante’s Peak YHC jumped at the opportunity to lead Carpex’s finest HIMs not realizing that it was the morning after the big Christmas bash. Never fear, I knew I’d have a strong group of HIMs and I wasn’t disappointed this morning. I was a bit worried at 5:37 when we only had YHC, Crimson (because you know he rode with me), and Disco Duck in the parking lot but we had a strong crowd roll in from there. [Read More]
