Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, November 7, will feature a new route that I'm adding to our rotation! I'm calling this 12 mile route the Bluemont L-Loop (map here). If you're an SLR regular, most areas this route covers should be familar to you, but I'd recommend you take a look at the map anyway to orient yourself. To shorten the route, you can cut off the short leg of the "L" at the end, and head directly from Rosslyn back to Iwo Jima, which should be about 10 miles. The route can be lengthened any amount along either the W&OD or Mt. Vernon trails, or by doing laps of the Roosevelt Island trail (maybe not recommended in the wet weather that's forecast for Saturday though).
Thanks go to Joe Buccino for post-run beverages! Our scheudle of upcoming routes and volunteer needs is posted on the SLR page so please let me know when you can help out, and email me with at least 2 consecutive weeks (preferably 4 weeks). Volunteering is easy, much appreciated by your SLR cohort, and all beverage expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
