14 faithful gathered once again at the corner of Bull and Blossom to test their mettle in the Monday morning gloom. This particular Monday, the weather that greeted the pax was a reprieve from the regular heat and humidity of the Columbia summer which we have grown accustomed to. It was this background that set the stage for #TheBull’s 3rd entrant into the coveted #400Club.
The Thang: #TheBull
