4 brave souls hopped aboard the Mystery Tahoe Machine this morning. With all the rucktards either fartsacking or stretching in a dark park with a guy named Mick, YHC took the opportunity to take the drivers seat. Today’s mystery: Why do they call it North Hills? Hmmm…

Lassiter to St. Mary’s to Anderson to Drewry to Dell to Bellevue to Ramblewood to Lassiter to Currituck to Rowan to Six Forks. 5.5 miles. Lots of hills. Mystery solved.

Stops at both crossings of Crabtree Creek and 440 to test the railings with Dirkins and Irkins IC. A few Good Mornings at the old Shaggy Homestead. With the folks out of town, YHC was tempted to raid the kitchen and make the crew some quadruple-decker sandwiches. Maybe next time. We settled on a side of Mary: LBCs, Hammers, Merkins and a good long Chillcut hold. And finished it off with a few yoga stretches. That Mick would be proud.

Drive-bys of both Lame Duck and Late Night. Passing each just as they were getting started.

No Catalyst or Whiplash tomorrow. Prayers to all the rucktards. We do love you.

Shaggy out
