Happy B-day, Brahms & Tchaikovsky!!  An update on Coyote status:  while C2M has seen its final production, that doesn’t mean the Coyote drops into deep hibernation.  With terrific egging from loyal Vols (yes, their vote tends to trump runners’ input), we’re seeking a more open and welcoming venue (than our FS “hosts” in Ojai) for another adventure.  Much infrastructure to get set in place, after which we’ll roll out the next idiocy.  In the meantime, thin’ about joining us in Lafayette, LA, for Cajun Coyote on December 1st…  ow-WOOOOOO!!

(All else following the above on this and other pages of the website represents static historical display of Two Moon buffoonery.  At some juncture not too distant down the trail, even this static display will disappear from view…)

In our parallel universe (matter or anti-matter?), we herewith offer up the results (guess where displayed…) of just our small community of Coyote veterans’ and their invitees’ many hours playing on/off the Ojai ridge under the umbrella of Marty’s Seabee Scholarship Memorial Association 50K Hike/Run.  Regardless of time spent on their feet, they (and other donators) apparently raised (and the numbers still climb?) over $2000 for the Scholarship.  Good going, kids!!

Too, the 2012 Joie de Vicki Award handily slides into the hands of Carmela Layson.  Why?  Just begin a conversation with her about how she has honored Vicki’s contributions thru the years, and you’ll get on board…

Joie de Vicki Award:  To commemorate the enduring “Life!!” of Vicki Devita, a Coyote Veteran through all the formal years of Coyote FourPlay and into subsequent howling Coyote rallies.  Vicki embodied the playful spirit of C4P through all the challenging miles and at every community gathering.  Did anyone ever NOT see her smiling or laughing?  You gotta come play in order to compete.  Such was Vicki, as well… And for all those who carried rocks from Sisar to Topa, from Topa A/S to Topa, and those making double trips to deposit their slight weight alongside others’ stones, many by spirit competed well for the Joie de Vicki Award.  Congratulations to Icky Ocky Horton for standing a tiny stone higher than his stalwart competitors for the 2011 Award; Thanks to All for honoring Vicki…

Basic Information:  100 Mile / 100K Trail Runs, staggered start format.  March 18-20, 2011. 150 entrant limit (100 for 100M, 50 for 100K unless 100M doesn’t fill). Start/Finish at Thacher School, Ojai, CA.  Courses visit the trails on the Ojai ridge behind Thacher School and the town of Ojai.  Depending on whom you’ll believe, the 100M course has around 27,000 ft elevation gain; the 100K about 19,000 ft gain.

Thanks for your interest in Coyote Two Moon!!  Any questions, send them to the buffoon@coyotetwomoon.com.

* Pay By Consumption – Our numbers are small enough that we should be able to order directly from the menu vs having limited items and group payment.  Those who already rizvipped about attending have confirmed slots.  There’s room for another handful, maybe, so if you’re now suffering from FOMO, you may yet get to join in, or maybe we’ll save some handmade tortillas for you…

**  Haiku or Limerick, pick your best expression of either any incredibly memorable running adventure or your anticipation of Two Moon.  Here’s the standard to beat (from Blisteroon’s 5th Grade student):  I like running lots / Mr Morrison does too / With Buffoon and friends.

***  Hey, it’s only 100K/100M this weekend, why not grab even more miles?!!? Good “taper” day to either roam the beach (relatively low tide, so lots of beach to play with) or hang with the gang at Ray’s trailhead and soak up some sun and brew.  Quad Sprint Competition?  Available both Wed/Thur, 4 super-sweet short sections on Ray that promote bursts of speed.  Awards to be presented at Thursday’s evening festivities.
