This is what I love about Team Vardo.  Someone always steps up to the plate and hits a home run:

We’ve got a 13 mile and 8 mile route on the schedule for Saturday. 

We’ll start it from my home, at 3218 Bayberry Road, in Northridge.

http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=242823  13 miles  This route starts at 3218 Bayberry Rd, route heads out to Bloomington Rd, head west as it turns into GW Carver, take a left on Cameron School Rd, take a left on North Dakota.  Look for a cooler at the 3 mile point, at Deer Run Lane.  Continue south, past Ontario, not too far from Lincoln Way, take a left on the short bike path that cuts over to Westbrook.  There will be a water stop as you come off of the bike path.  Continue on Westbrook, left onto Hickory, and a right on Woodland.  Take a left on West St, then a left on Hyland.  Go up Cemetery Hill on Pammel Drive.  Take Pammel to University and take a left on 6^th St, take a waterbreak at the water next to the skateboarding park.  Take 6^th up to Northwestern, take a left and go up to 24^th.  Right on 24^th to Grand Ave, go up to Bloomington.  I’ll have a waterstop right before Bloomington.  Take Bloomington up to GW Carver, take a left, go a block and take a right on Bayberry.

We’ll have start times at 6am and 7am.  Assuming most of the 13 milers would start at 6am, but 8 milers could also if they’d like.  I’ll have fruit, juice, and bagels at the finish.  It should be great fall running weather. 

George, I’m looking for about 3 Vardo coolers, if someone might let me know who’s holding, I’ll stop by and pick them up Friday night.
