BLOW OFF WORK AND GO WHEELIN' RUN 2022
I'm putting the annual BOWAGW run on the calendar now. My goal is to schedule the run on a Wednesday as close to the summer solstice as possible (in order to maximize daylight, not for some weird pagan celebration). This year, the summer solstice is on 6/21, so Wed. June 29 will provide many daylights to enjoy.
So block out the afternoon on your work calendar. You need to get your ass out of the desk chair and go wheelin'.
DATE: Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Meeting time: 1:00 p.m. Depart @ 1:30 p.m.
WHERE: We've held this run for two decades on Slaughterhouse Gulch near Bailey, Colo. It's a good beginner trail with some fun obstacles and a great overlook towards the end.But I'm wondering if we should change it up? Anyone have a good trail to suggest?
We could go run Red Cone but that's a longer trail — maybe too long for an afternoon run?
UPDATE ON SUNDAY, JUNE 26
I'd like to run Red Cone this summer, but I'm concerned about snow and starting in the afternoon. Maybe we can blow off work another day in July and start in the morning rather than the afternoon.
So let's go run Slaughterhouse Gulch. For those who have run this trail before, it's fun and scenic. If you're new-ish to the club, it's a great first run to do with Rising Sun.
Let's meet at 1:00 pm at the SAFEWAY in Conifer. Address is: 27152 Main St, Conifer, CO 80433
(Yes, we've met at the King Soopers in the past, but there is a Sonic in the same parking lot at the Safeway).
