YHC rolled into Cletus on June 12th solo while riding up on a mountain bike. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The workout kicked my butt, but I loved it enough to keep coming back for 10 Years. A whole decade of my life I’ve been posting in the gloom. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of cool dudes. YHC was ready to celebrate as this was day 4 of Throwback week from 2015 and the last original AO to Q. Here is how the PAX grew stronger together.

It’s truly been a blessing having F3 in my life for a decade. A lot of men have come and gone but F3 continues to change lives. Thank you to each person that came out this week to help YHC celebrate 10 years of F3. I hope I’m still around Q’ing in 10 more.

God Bless,
BS Out!
