The Hills ft. Lauren Conrad

The Hills ft. Lauren Conrad

14 guys read or ignored the preblast and showed up at DT and laid some fresh tracks on a new route. Lots of nervous and looks awkward whispering prior to launch. “Can you believe someone let this guy Q?” “Are we really bucking the system and going somewhere different?” “Is this guy really going to name a route after a classic, memorable, hit MTV teen drama series star?”

Yes, yes, and yes.

The thang:

We went north on Rea, bout a mile or so and crossed 51. The 3rd left is a neighborhood and street called Five Knolls. It’s got some wicked hills. We ran to the dead end, turned around, and ran back to Rea. We did it more than once. Then we ran back down Rea.

Moleskinny:

Hills were the theme today. Big ones. In recognition of the critically-acclaimed (no idea what that means) MTV show – The Hills – we’ll (I’ll) call the route “LC”, short for the show’s OG star, Lauren Conrad. Why? Because HB was silly (awesome) enough to let me Q and I heard F3 is a judgement-free zone. Based on the eye in the sky, guys got anywhere from 6-7+ miles. The top guys fell just shy of completing 3 laps – the challenge stands for another day. This little nook tucked in the corner of 51/Rea may see some action over the next 6 months leading up to BRR. May even need some dedicated segments for Tolkien to skip work and sprint up.

Great work out there today. Another option for mileage and hills a stones throw from the AO. Thanks HB for the opportunity – it was fun while it lasted.
