The above 70 degrees temps made a liar out of the Q, who had promised cooler temps to those who came out. Nonetheless, the 29erso pax in attendance were treated to several novelties and an apparent miracle this morning.
Novelty #1 – after about 5 years of Tractors and OGs, the Q managed to create a route that most pax had never explored before.
Novelty #2 – The Tractors route had nearly the same or more elevation gain than the OGs route, despite being half the distance.
Novelty #3 – Counterintuitively, despite the relatively flat and uncharted OGs route the complaints from the OGs outnumbered the complaints from the Tractors by a wide margin.
Miracle – Juice Box had no problem making it around Lyndhurst Bldg and onto Mission. His route card had it right.
Other NMM:
- IF thanked YHC for running him past Lyndhurst, a potential new office milieu for him.
- YHC didn’t know there was a third Fabric Brother but was pleased to meet Cashmere.
- Litter Box came flying in just behind Walter White. Dude keeps getting faster.
- Scuttlebutt about renaming Valdez, with Molasses and Mr Pumpkin both strong contenders.
- Van Gogh has lived in WS most of his life but had never been on Charlois.
