Ruck Ready is always a blast to Q, so yhc truly appreciates the opportunity given by former host workout Q, Skynyrd! Was glad that today was 2-Stop’s first official date as new host Q! So yhc wanted to come up with a beatdown that’ll be remembered for my brothers.

The train crew has been working on the tracks around Fire Tower for several weeks, and yhc was seeing a bunch of beautiful coupons as they replace the old railroad ties with new ones. Unfortunately, they couldn’t give them away, so yhc went on an ENC tie search!  Finally found some in Williamston, each weighing around 250-300 lbs, and a plan was hatched. Already getting some good mumblechatter as the pax were eyeing the beams in the back of the truck, some hoping it was just for show, some making comments that they had to leave early. ECers came in, circled up at the flag, disclaimer given, and off we went.
