Southern Discomfort – The Inaugural
28 or 29 pax posted at Stonehenge at 5am for the Roshambo option of Southern Discomfort. The CSAUP started early as 6 or 7 pax jumped in the back of Ductwork’s truck and hurtled down 485 towards Ballantyne from Matthews Elementary (Peak 51).
At 5:45ish, the Roshamboers rolled into Centurion and were greeted by about 40 or so Swift Kickers and Sack Tappers.
Won’t rehash all the details, but will point out just a few observations and the pax can chime in with any other anecdotes.
* 2nd F was great and it was a cool sight to see 70ish pax heading down 51 with the shovel flags.
* Got a lot of horn-tapping love from cars as we made our way from AO to AO. #merica
* Sorry the distance was a little off for the 3 options…didn’t factor in the mileage at the AO’s themselves….but made it more noteworthy for all the pax doing 8+, 14+ and 17+ miles
* T-Claps to Urquell and Borat – FNG’s for a CSAUP event like Southern Discomfort – that’s strong!
* And special welcome to Walker from The Fort, Whoopee from The Gas House and Abacus-Metro. Also had some pax from MECA (Mint Hill).
Please chime in on the Comments to add some much needed flavor to this backblast.
Thought it was a great event, and we’ll definitely have to do it again next year.
Let MallCop know if you want a t-shirt. If we get at least 12 takers, we can do another order.

Thanks for the super Q Hops. Great CSAUP event – especially strong on the 2nd F in the midst of 1st F. great that there was a distance for everyone. Really enjoyed hanging with bugeater for the morning….oh wait….he didn’t show. Nice. The opening at Centurion running up and down the Monolith was a nice warmup. The fields at Day Zero and The Rock are quite lush and promise a lot of Weinke possibilities for the fall. RESPECT and T-claps for those of you who completed the Roshambo….I think I would rather have the literal definition of that word than run 17. Looking forward to next year.
