Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun. Dec 24, 8:30, Skyline Gate

Twas the morn before Christmas, at the edge of the wood,
with a lithe group of runners looking quite good.
Their trail shoes tied up at the ankles with care,
in the hope that the coordinators soon would be there.

When out on the lot there arose such a clatter,
it was Mike and the kids (is he getting fatter?).
We commenced our run on the fog shrouded trail,
when we noticed old Michael starting to bail.

And we heard him exclaim as we ran out of sight,
"Enjoy your run...and keep turning right"!

Hi Everyone,
We will meet at Skyline Gate and choose a trail based on mud concerns and general consensus. I'm leaning toward West Ridge/Stream, cause I can say "keep turning right".
Happy holidays,
Mike
