Birth of a New Tradition
QIC: Drama Queen
Date: 07/23/2021
PAX: Van Gogh, Sea Man, Road Apple, Schneider, Bullwinkle, Drano, Pony Boy, Fender, Harden, Sour Mash, Drama Queen
Sour Mash requested YHC to Q BBBC this week and a new route had been on my mind since I often drive by this route on the way to golf.
The launch spot was determined as Tanglewood Harris Teeter with a simple out and back via 158 and a venture into the BB&T (guess it costs too much to change the signs to Truist) soccer complex. Turn around at 22 minutes and return to HT.
Since this was crossing over into Davie County some eastern Davie pax were invited. Then Drano decided this would be a nice convergence of sorts and brought along Pony Boy, one of the MoxPax.
A strong BBBC showing of 11 ventured across the river and ran various routes. A brave and faster contingent ran across the new pedestrian bridge that crosses I-40. The new territory seemed to agree with all so much that we decided a convergence launch will take place every month on the 3rd Friday with a spot tbd by the Q somewhere west of Harper Rd and east of 801. That should give plenty of options and a monthly opp to put some miles in with our Davie Co bros.
NMM
thanks to Fender for pulling me along for first half of run and Schneider for us pulling each other along for the last half. My mileage was about 3.6. Some got more, some got less. Lots of options in this area.
Fast pax obviously did not heed directions for they were found sitting at parking lot when YHC returned in slightly under 44 min. But they did cross the new bridge so that was an accomplishment.
Good to meet Pony Boy and glad this idea sprouted a plan for a regular convergences. Looking forward to seeing new faces.
Also think YHC created a new term with Moxpax. Drano decided it sounds like a cream you would apply – Road Apple agreed that it cures fartsacking and other ailments.
Large contingent of Hates today. No single respects but YHC checked off the double respect box. War Daddy by about 15 years.
