Alright so coming from the other thread, it seems that a lot of people want to get together on January 1st for some hard training mixed with good times. So Jen and I came up with a couple ideas so we thought we would throw out a poll for people to choose/add their own suggestions. So far the ideas are:

Camping/Trail Running:
After PJ's 50miler I think we all realized that when the sun goes down people get even more fun so how about picking somewhere to camp with great places for running. BBQ's, Beer, Running, Headlamps, Fires. Sounds like a good combination

Poker Brick:
Alot of motorcycle clubs do poker rides where you stop 5 times randomly pick a card at each stop and see who has the best hand at the end. So we could try it triathlon style. Start in Usery park and ride a loop of usery then run on the smooth trails with 5 stops and see who wins in the end. BBQ and picnic could be held after using Usery park facilities.

Vote or post a new option for all to vote on.

I like them BOTH!!!! I need to think about this a minute. Hmmm...

REMEMBER: If you suggest something that needs set up...you have to be willing to help set up.

For example I see a Hash Run. Sounds AWESOME! But doesn't someone have to man beer stops? Would we have willing volunteers? Not sure how a hash run works but am dying to try one!

It all sounds great! I'm in for whatever except I can't do trail runs at night (bad ankles) but I could (wo)man the base station.

You may not have a band, but I happen to beat on a guitar from time to time, sooooo.... I could maybe run and play at the same time or just play at the BBQ, or I could man the beer stations and play for myself and others as they pass me by. 

Question, if i man a beer station, can I drink that beer as I pass it out.  Such as 1 for you, 1 for me.  Or perhaps 1 for you, 2 for me.  Either way works for me.

I voted for the hash run but I may have to do the family thang that day.  Or I could come do the hash run and THEN do the family thing.  HA!

Camping/Trail running for me! (With Dogs too)!

I'm also in for a poker brick! That sounds like a blast as well.

Drinking beer WHILE running sounds about as appealing as biking while having someone beat me over the head with a hammer.

I'm up for either.  BUT, not to be a whiny butt, if we do something where we have to collect along the route can be have those points be laid out for the less qualified too?  You know, those of us who can't ride a billion miles.

Paulettejo - 2008-10-30 11:04 AM I was thinking something more like a long run (like a 50k) or bike followed by food and a party.  ....hmmm....hash running - I could do that, poker playing - nah, ....but I am lame.

Perhaps we could mix a longish Has run with strip poker!  Just my two cents!

BTW- I have stated since last year that I am so down for a Cool Kids Hash run!  I think it is an event that screams what our club is really all about (fitness and beer in case the Brothers Grimm missed that!).  But we really need Tucson to step up and join (Flag is well represented with Astrid, Dave, and sorta-Chris!
