June 2009: My Son Called to Wish Me Happy Fathers’ Day but I Was in the Circle & Couldn’t Take the Call

You know what makes for a good Fathers' Day?  Going on a bike hash!

Today was the hangover hash for the jHavelina HHH Red Dress weekend, set by three members of the Pedalfiles Bash: Redheaded Woodpecker, Bimbo by Day, and Stick Me Anywhere.  The pack — runners and riders alike — gathered at a favorite Pedalfiles hangout, Reilly's Irish Tavern, for a few pre-hash libations:

The hares set two trails, one for traditional hashers and one for bashers.  About a mile into the bash trail, we came upon evidence of a catastrophic hare failure:

 

Hare Fail
Hare Fail!

At the beer check, we found out that Redheaded Woodpecker had gone down when his flour bag got caught in his spokes, but fortunately lost only his flour, not any blood.  The second half of the trail was short for both runners and riders, and ended in a high-rent parking lot, otherwise abandoned for the weekend.  How can you tell when a Tucson parking lot is high-rent?  Shade!

The girl in the photo is the Lady in Red, who shows up at all the big red dress runs.  God knows why she takes the trouble to show up at our piddley-ass events, but we're glad she does!
