Call To Brickyard!

You never know what the universe will look like until the time is now.

My cryptic introduction to what I *think* it will look like tomorrow morning @ 7 AM, at least in the Universe called Brickyarders:

Because Tracy's going to be running w/ Steph and Brent took a spill on Wednesday which we hope and think isn't serious but which has resulted in a 5K in Portland he and Lee were to run not happening ...

Mike, Rose, Lani, Lee, Mary and of course possibly other surprises will be running. Mike says he'll be there at 7 to do about 7. Rose and Lani have mentioned 7:30 and a distance of 7 miles. So ... are you still w/ me, the slightly earlier 7 AM people will try to reappear in the standard parking lot (as opposed to the virtual parking lot) at 7:30 to complete whatever distance they have left.

We hope Mike, Lea, Brent, Lani, Lee, Tracy, Rose, Dave, Barbara all have great New Havens, be that 5 or 20K.

Okay, see y'all at the VDP.  I told Rose I'd run toward the Brickyard lot and then back to the VDP (which will give me about 10 miles).  I will still have another 12 to cover so will go 6 out and back in the new direction. 

This was posted on FB from the women's group with whom I used to run:
"Ladies (and Gentlemen),
Be sure to either leave your purses/wallets at home, or put them in the trunk of your car before you leave your house for a run. 3 of us had our windows smashed and purses stolen this morning while on our run....on the bike path in Simsbury no less. :("

I usually cover my purse with a towel.  However, if someone wants to break into your car to look for a purse or wallet, you're still stuck with a broken window.  I'm now only bringing my license with me so as not to have to cancel credit/bank cards in the event of a break-in.

Lee's driving instructions are good. The VDP you speak of that is just before the new section is the parking lot off "Collinsville Road". That is the best place because it has the bigger parking lot of the two.

Crap, I'm confused!  It doesn't take much.  I am referring to the parking lot where the dirt pile used to be; it's right where the new section starts.  I think it's 5.5 miles from the Brickyard lot.  So tell me how to get to that one!  Words please, words.

Lee....Map is good but a few pieces of information that need clarification. 

1. Where "Speilman Highway" turns left(which is Rt 4). There is a parking lot at that point across from Speilman. That is where I split from you and Tracy last week. Technically I believe that is past the VDP. 

2. Also on that map...a little to the right....where it says "Collinsville Rd" is where the other parking lot is located. This is where we frequently turn back and just before the VDP after passing through the tunnel. 

So clarify which parking lot is the meeting point. I can be there by 6am and will do 8-10 miles. I have to get on the road for a party in NH at 1pm.

Mr. Mike ... please correct me if I'm wrong with this.

You see where Spielman Highway comes in? Where that joins w/ Canton Rd is where you should drive your car and is (I think) where the VDP is.

Instead of taking the right off Farmington Ave onto Brickyard Rd, keep going on Farmington Ave toward Unionville. Go strait at the intersection (don't bear left, don't bear right) which will be Main St. This becomes Collinsville Rd. This becomes Canton Rd. The river is on the right. Where Spielman Highway meets this road on the left park your car, get out, lace up and start running.

I think Brent and Tracy will head toward the regular parking lot, and try to meet anybody who wants to start later (like 7 AM). They will then turn around, and head back toward the VDP. Tracy's going 22, Brent less, Rose is talking about doing 10.

Virtual Dirt Pile Details

Based on Mike's remarks, it looks like going all the way to Spielman Highway is too far. The map and satellite map below should help. The parking lot we want is off Collinsville Rd. Looks like the address is about 310 Collinsville Rd. How am I doing Mike?

Lee's driving instructions are good. The VDP you speak of that is just before the new section is the parking lot off "Collinsville Road". That is the best place because it has the bigger parking lot of the two.
