Men of Vardo:

Your attention is directed to the following message from Art the Barton.  I will grant you that the mental picture of Art nursing a calf is a bit troubling.  Nonetheless, clear the room of women and small children, and read on:

The Double Espresso 6-miler

Start – Café Diem at 7:00 AM

Turn Around – The Café (Water in bed of white Jeep truck parked behind The Café) Finish – Café Diem

Route Details: Starting at Café Diem (229 Main Street) at 7:00 AM head west on Main to Northwestern, north on Northwestern to 9th, west on 9th to Ridgewood, north on Ridgewood to 20th, east on 20th to Hayes, north on Hayes to 24th, west on 24th to Kent, north on Kent to Northridge Parkway, west on Northridge Parkway to The Café (2616 Northridge Parkway), return in reverse.

First Note:  For Vardo’s anticipating they may not remember the route (symptoms of severe caffeine withdrawal) I have included an attachment that can be printed and worn like a race bib; this will readily identify your need to be pointed towards the nearest coffee shop.

Second Note: You may have noticed my absence from the group runs of late, it’s because I have been busy nursing a sore calf.  When the little fella is better I’ll be back out on the trails with you again.
