ROC Trail Bits #47
Trail Bits # 47
*……I have just found out that registration for the Gunner Shaw will be capped at 500 people this year. No exceptions. Registration is at close to 200 right now. So, if you are planning on running in two weeks, I would suggest that you register in advance by going on line. http://pih.bc.ca/gunner-shaw-info.html
It is with great sadness that I have to admit that I may have been some what premature in making the statement that ROC was NOT a fair weather group. Apparently we are.
The report that I received about last weekends run of the Saddle was humorous to hear. Apparently we had people in two of the groups that insisted on being piggy backed across the stream as they were afraid their “new shoes” would get dirty and there were also reports of people trying to tip toe around the puddles…..what’s with that??? It does bring back fond memories of a few years ago when a few of what are now our more experienced trail runners and leaders had to be piggy backed across that same stream. Those same folks are now the ones that boldly splash their way through any water, no matter how deep that gets in their way. I think that a few of you may need to accept that fact that your feet may get wet and your shoes may get dirty. All joking aside, Welcome to West Coast running. Special thanks to Tim, Michael and Erik for looking after one of the runners who had sprained their ankle while running with us this past weekend…..good work guys!!!
