A nice, flat route through the wide open spaces of Buena Vista greeted the PAX this morning. A big Q fail from the outset did not daunt these intrepid ruckers and @DDay proposed the simple yet elegant solution of executing the route in reverse and that’s what we did.
We launched from the parking lot of Fleet Feet sports on Stratford (278 Harvey St, Winston Salem, NC 27103).
Here’s the MMR Link to the route, but keep in mind we did it backwards.
~5.36mi ~169ft gain
Here’s the TBT for the backwards version:
- Left out of parking lot onto Stratford
- L on Knollwood
- R on Country Club
- L on Arbor
- L on Forest Dr
- L Club Park Rd
- L on Country Club
- R on S Westview Dr
- R on Stratford
- R into parking lot & return to start
YHC took us out.
Announcements and COT:
- Shmedfest 8/25
- @DDay (aka Thor) pointed out that the route looks like Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir
- @Starfish pointed out that the original pre-blast showed only 1.69ft of gain, which was the source of several jokes this morning whenever we came to curbs, bumps, or even larger hills…
- Enjoyable ruck this sunny morning, in spite of the humidity. Thanks for the fellowship and conversation, fellers!
Aye!
