Hardly Downhill!
The Beginning
With much celebration, we have three hares stepping up for set trail in mid January. Ozzie Pizzle Pants (OPP), Liquor Lots (LL) and Lazy Cummer (LC) joined forces to set a fantastic trail from Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza in the Sunalta neighbourhood, in the shadow of the C-Trail tracks.
Even better, Two House has declared $5.00 pints for the month of January. Is that not a good reason to patronize this establishment? In addition, plenty of great terrain for the trail.
Trail setting was done in the cold weather on Sunday (-20 C). Monday chinook winds warmed things up to -4 C. We gathered inside prior to the run start.
Insane Bolt announced it was time to circle up in the rear parking lot of the pub.
Insane Bolt ran the circle. We had visitors, archives and newish boots.
The hares were called into the circle and explained the marks we needed to follow for the trail.
The hares pointed in a westerly direction and the pack was off.
The Trail
A few misleading marks lead to false trails. After the requisite fumbling around, true trail was discovered.
Finally, a park was found and the playing and sliding was engaged in earnest.
Down the hill and through the neighbourhood prior to finding the stairs that must be climbed.
We eventually made it to the pathway beside the river. This was a long stretch of distance with few options. We found the regroup under the C-Train tracks close to the pub. Refreshments were appreciated!
After our refreshments, it was back to the pub to get sorted out for down down’s.
Down Down’s
Inside Two House was warm and dry. The smell of fresh pizza was present. The pack settled in as the Religious Advisor got his act together.
Choir selected with Snevil and Roaring Nancy. The sang to them selves and enjoyed a refreshment.
A number of crimes and transgressions were brought to light, as well as the acknowledgement of the hares. Scoobie was called up to be a stunt double for Just10 Beaver, who had escaped prior to receiving her down down. Scoobie handed off the photo taking duties to others.
Eventually, Hump the Shark ran out of beer and material and we were “on the piss”.

Trail Summary
We were pleased that the weather warmed up for the run. Happy that the hares set trail in the -20C range, -4C seemed balmy. Total distance in excess of 5 km.
