My Muddy Shoes

Hey There, Root Slappers!

Are ya’ll ready for a little Saturday Single-Trackin’ here in MoCo? I sure am!

So, this week we’ll be running central MoCo this week. Meeting at the Ag Farm, site of the world-famous Farm Park Challenge event, we’ll do a quick loop on the Mule Skinner Trail before heading out towards Olney on the Percheron, Carson Farm, Upper Rock Creek and North Branch trails. It’s mostly an out-n-back except for the Mule Skinner part. Very sweet run. One of my go-to weekday jaunts. There’ll be water out on the course for ya at the Muncaster-108 crossing.  Weather should be OK but there will be some humidity slapping you in the face so hydrate heavily! Snacks and cold bevs afterwards. Fun times!

Announcements:

Mark your calendars. We’ll be hosting the 8^th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Fat Ass on Saturday July 12^th in Seneca Creek State Park. Don’t miss this awesome event! Awesome pot luck afterwards with Hot Dogs, Hamburgers (veggie options available) , cold beverages and great crowd!

Muddy Shoes swag is still available! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.
