Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's route, on Saturday May 12, will be a 13.5 mile one-way run to the Vienna Metro (downloads: cue sheet and GPS). If you'd like to do something similar while going a little shorter, you can make it an 11 mile trip to the Dunn Loring metro if you continue straight on Gallows Rd instead of turning at Cottage St. For those of you who make it all the way out to Vienna, look for Raj with remote post-run drinks at the bike stand just before the metro entrance. If that spot doesn't work out for whatever reason, he'll be in the parking lot near the kiss & ride location. Be sure to thank him for the drinks, and don't forget to bring your SmarTrip card for the ride back to Rosslyn!
Thanks also to Franco Ordonez for bringing post-run drinks at the regular SLR meeting point this week, and in addition for starting off the run in my place while I'm out of town!
We will need more volunteers for both post-run and mid-run drinks coming up in June, so please get in touch with me if you can help. The weekly schedule of volunteers, routes, and distances is always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to book your slot. For more info on how volunteering works, please first see the SLR FAQ, and after that send me an email if you'd like any additional details.
Early warning: Beginning in three weeks, on June 2, our meeting time will be moving up to 7:00 am for the summer months, to beat the heat
Happy running,
Mike
