Taiping Hash, January 21


This month, something a bit different for the Taiping Hash. No
mountains this time. Instead, a nearby, flat run that features not
one, but two Ming dynasty temples.

We will run in bucolic Pudong northwest of the airport, starting from
a Taoist temple and finishing at a Buddhist temple.

The bash will be in the Buddhist temple at the finish. The monks have
assured us that we can drink to our hearts' content in the restaurant
and outside the main gate of the temple. (But no drinking in the
temple areas. Please.)

The food will, of course, be vegetarian.

FRBs should be around 1 hour 15 minutes. Everyone else should be able
to finish in around two hours. This is a rather long run and could be
muddy. There will be a short run split.

The bus will start at the Portman. There will not be a Hongqiao pick
up.

Please tell us if you plan to drive so we can give you directions and
so we can load your car up with people if we run out of space on the
bus.

As always, please RSVP if you plan to come. We need to tell the monks
how many bashers are coming.
