Amboozled

8 PAX gathered in the gloom this morning for a Peachy beatdown. The temps are dropping so there shouldn’t be any more PAX falling victim to the fartsack because of the heat. YHC was glad to break out the compression pants and hoodie for the first time this morning. The gloom is real once again. …
