The Beginning

Setting a run on the eve of April Fool’s Day can be an interesting time. One of the hares, Hot Quickie, is know as April in the non hashing world. Both Beer in the Rear and Hot Quickie are marathon distance people. What could possibly be in store for the group!

The pack assembled at Shank’s Sports Grill on Macleod Trail in the South West.

Through this door pass the thirsty and hungry sports minded folks!

A large emporium to drinking, eating and sports, we arrived to take in the scale of the place inside. Our server was very interested in the group as she claimed to have some running and drinking aspirations!

We were set with a private section in the bar for when we returned from out run.

PMS made some sort of command to get the group outside to circle up in the parking lot. With the daylight hours, no flashlights required!

PMS ran the circle, with announcements and introductions.

The hares were called in to the circle to describe the marks for the trail.

The pack was released into the traffic on MacLeod Trail looking for marks.

The Trail

Along the roads we found marks in pink. The trail was not overmarked, so each mark found was a revelation!

Across the busy roads to the solace of the quiet neighbourhoods. You do not appreciated the hills and alleys in Haysboro until you have to run them.

Park action was enjoyed. Playtime was to focus. Safety first.

After the playing was done, the group moved on to find more attractions. The bridge over the C-Train lines offered some views of urban development.

We are unsure what to make of this. There are siemens involved and a notice to refrain from humping

Once over the tracks, all Horton Roads lead to the regroup.

From the regroup, off to the bar for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

The pack settled in to our designated section and ordered beer and food. Chatting and socializing prior to the start of the closing ceremonies. Slow Clap, supported by Hump the Shark, got the facts straight for the stories and lies they were about to perform.

With the limited down down beers ready to go, the Religious Advisors were ready to go. A choir was selected of Strap On and Slippy Thong and the performance commenced.

Eventually, the RA’s remembered to call up the hares and thank them for the run.

Other various and sundry offences were declared and celebrated.

Eventually, the production was complete and we were declared “on the piss”. Fine job by our aspiring RA Slow Clap. Strap On volunteered for next week (in case she forgets).

Best RA performance by Slow Clap. More to come!

Trail Summary

We ran somewhere between 6 and 7 km’s through the neighbourhood of Haysboro. Great views of MacLeod Trail and the C-Train tracks. More hills in Haysboro than you would expect!
