8 pax gathered in the gloom with the intent to improve themselves. 8 pax succeeded. Originally the plan was to set out and find Jiffy running through the hood but a text at 0500 that he would not be out meant the only thing left to hunt was Strava segments. Good enough.

A reasonable attempt at a Martin Luther King Jr. quote given in lieu of a disclaimer. Ruckers were encouraged to complete their usual route in the opposite direction so that we would all finish the Greenway together; they obliged.

We came. We saw. We conquered…. the following Strava segments:

• Get to the choppa!
• Greenway Sprint(Running)
• Astoria to Alexi Ct
• Alexi Ct. To Greenway Start
• Astoria to Moss Farm
• Jail Break!

YHC was actually unaware of the Astoria to Moss Farm and Astoria to Alexi Ct segments, they must be new. Astoria to Moss Farm is really just a subset of Alexi Ct. To Greenway Start.

Announcements

• Big Brothers/Big Sisters campaign
• Passport Challenge starts March 1
• Happy Hour at Johnny Brusco’s tomorrow (Thursday)
• Prayers for getting Life Alert and Marie Callender back out in the gloom after their injuries.
• Prayers for everyone else that is struggling to get out there, for whatever reason.

Moleskin

• Thanks for entertaining my segment hunting despite Heatstroke being the only other one that uses it. I recommend everyone link their GPS trackers to it. Fun to see how you improve over time and it automatically connects you to others who complete the same workout.
• Congratulations to Heatstroke on picking up a couple Strava trophies and PRs.
• YHC hit 4 PRs as well with 1 trophy.
