Run the Creek, with seven cul-de-sacs and a loop
A trio of cruisers braved the morning chill to run the course of the annual (until this year) Run the Creek 5K. Among them was one of the course’s designers — Chowder — and Gordo, who was making good on his Slack HC from the day before. The Thang: Out the main entrance from HCE […]

Pick Up the Six 101
A few weeks back, @no-h reached out to YHC to see about a possible Highlands/Valley Convergence Cruise. YHC loved the idea and the date was set for today. As YHC and @RickieFocker and @barrister jogged into the lot, a small crowd had already begun to form. In total, 21 (and a half) Pax made an […]
