Blackhawk Takes Flight

Blackhawk Takes Flight

A rugged 32, many sleeveless, descended upon the newly minted Blackhawk AO at Walnut Creek Park. Everything from guys showing up on foot to rolling up in golf carts and scooters was the scene leading up to 630. All we were missing was someone on a unicycle and roller skates joining in. Maybe next week… Shovel flag was planted, park nazi dealt with and 630 on clock meant GREENLIGHT for the launch of Blackhawk. Thanks to Ringer for leading the PAX in a moment of silence to pay respects to our fallen PAX “Cheech”.

Moleskine

Impressive showing today for the launch of Blackhawk and T-claps to the SOB and Union County PAX for the support getting this off the ground. Tuck and MT, we appreciate the push and the recon getting us out this site. Lots of opportunity in this area and a Q’s dream of an AO with plenty to work with. Spread the word to surrounding neighbors, friends, co-workers etc to keep this site going strong. As always let us be thankful to see another sun rise and have the opportunity to come out and enjoy our time together. Continued thoughts and prayers for the family of Cheech and may he rest in peace. Appreciate all of the guys that paid their respects today by going sleeveless even if you had to dig into the bottom of your shirt drawer (Soft Pretzel) to do so.

Annoucements

While we did not utilize the trail system this week, stay tuned for updates on a future trail pre-run that we will be implementing in the coming weeks.

Also, cafe’terria ummmmm coffeeteria will be held at Free Birds diner after all Blackhawk workouts. We got the ok from the owner as long as we keep our stinky asses on the outdoor patio.

Q Schedule is wide open at this point. Please reach out to Atlas or myself if you are interested in pitching in.
