Saddle Up

Saddle Up

Charlotte Running Co calls it Mount Charlotte (Charlotte could not be reached for comment) and, as the legend goes, uses it to train for BRR hills.

The A51 brain trust mocked their simple names, yet couldn’t come up with one of its own: Puke’s Peak, Hillbilly, an obligatory Zombie reference, Bug Light (a nod to the green LED flag pole at the top of Blue Ridge)–but no name could be decided.  There were, however, plenty of names to be had for the unibrowed snot-licker that suggested the stupid route in the first place, so the workout is named in his honor:  Saddle up for Horsey McHorseArse.

WHEN:  Mondays–0515 – 0615. Rotating Qs.

WHERE:  Old Bell Road and Sardis (Greenway Parking Lot)

WHAT:  Strava segment (more or less) is here:  https://www.strava.com/segments/6431126.  More info to be given on site.

WHAT ELSE:  Headlamps and blinkies.  It’s a dark place–physically, emotionally, spiritually.

NOTE:  No overpriced quiche or designer monkey bread awaits you when it’s done. When you mount up on McHorseArse, you get double baked; not the croissants.

Giddy up.
