The Solo Duel

The Tunnel Of Love

Conditions: Warm 8 pax weren’t scared off by the prospect of a trip through…DUH DUH DUH!!!…the Tunnels. Personally, I’ve always found Leesburg more concerning in the gloom, but regardless, we all survived. Alas, YHC created the route without Strava, and thus I overestimated the distance slightly, so most completed somewhere from 3.8-4.2 miles, with some …

Scotchfest at CAT

9 pax defied the #fartsack this morning as YHC was called out of the bullpen to Q.  If Gravedigger says he is too banged up to Q, and if you know Gravedigger, then you know it is legit.  YHC wanted to dial up a good one to push the pax since that is was GD …

Tabata Beatdown

7 Ambush PAX joined YHC for a little Tabata Beatdown.  There was plenty of Mubblechatter (mostly by Angie List about Tide PODS) throughout the 45 mins although it wasn’t quite as loud as the Pearl Jam (Angie’s List had never heard of the band which might be why he took up interest in talking about Tide PODS) that …

Wounded Knee Massacre
