VENUE CHANGE – Tuesday Trails at REDLAND

Hey Trailies,

I hope you’re paying attention cuz we are switching to our Winter location at Redland Middle School. The single-track we’ll be tapping our toes on are affectionately known as the Upper and Lower Redland trails. And regarding that, the Lower Redland Trail was severely overgrown. I was only able to get the lower trail partially cleared. We’ll just have to deal with that. Mother Nature had taken over a little more than I thought and I could only do so much. C’est la vie! (that’s French for ‘Just have to effing deal with it!) Either way your little feetsies will still be able to get some miles in on a dirt surface.

So, the weather will hopefully cooperate although there is a chance of some welcome precip throughout the day. We need the rain!

Although we will start in the light there is a chance it will be dark for the back of the pack so bring your headlamps!

OK, first, announcements:

Muddy Shoes swag is still available at pre-tariff prices! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Re-usable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.

No scheduled run this Saturday. I’ll be beaching it and couldn’t find someone to lead. Look for an announcement for the 28^th from Coach Audrey.

We have the world-famous Muddy Shoes SM50 Course Preview Runs coming up on each weekend in October as well as the Phantastic Phall Phat Ass Haph Marathon and 10k the weekend before Stone Mill (great taper run!). Come out and get a preview of a different section of the actual course each Saturday in October. Do all four runs, you’ll see the whole course. Come join us even if you aren’t doing Stone Mill. Everyone is welcome! Donations appreciated. Lots of good trail fun.
