Hare: Cooch
Venue: I Spicy, 80 Victoria St Richmond
This is a short report because I can’t remember the run. E&B sez “why don’t you and Cut Loose come to my house before the run and we can have a sub-committee meeting over a nice pot of tea and some Iced Vo-Vos”. Five mango daiquiris later, we crawled our way to the run venue. Then Cooch sez “by the way, the run is 10km”. Your scribe and E&B lurched through almost the entire 10km, with a short detour to see “The Dolls House” at Cromwell St Collingwood, a 19th century family home which is 8’6” wide or 2.59 metres, slightly wider than my bathroom.
I do remember that the food at I Spicy was fantastic and it was ‘survival of the fittest’ at each table to see who could eat the most.
I’d had 5 mango daiquiris so I must have been mistaken when I saw our sergeant Comrade Udder dressed in camouflage topped with a Chairman Mao beret singing the lefty-pinko socialist anthem “The Internationale”.
Astro described the run – apparently it went over Richmond Hill, Bridge Rd, MCG Park, East Melbourne, Fitzroy Gardens and Smith St. Behind Bars did the walk report and they awarded it 1622/1623.
