Here is the email I got from VD.

I am going to be running the ING Miami Tropical Marathon on Sunday and Shell Shocked has set up a place on the route for a beer check for the runners. Stop the Bus and ArgenTuna are lending their home (a short block away) to gather and rally, and a few hashers have volunteered to help. All of us feel that it isn't worth the effort to set up the stop and a hash with out more than the four or five participants that we know we can count on for this. So...if you still need a hare for the biko on Sunday (Jan. 29) I will be a biko hare (w/ArgenTuna and Stop the Bus) rather than setting my usual running trail if some of you, probably a minimum of about 5 or so can make it a point to cum down to Miami and help. You would need to be down at the stop by the time I cum through, projected to be around 8:15 am. The biko would then begin at 11 am with the hare away by 11:30 am. Honestly, we think the tradition of the beer check at Marathons is worth doing. I am running under the name of Virgin Dick, and don't know who else is running the full marathon. I know Itsy Bitsy and Sucks on the Beach are running the half. Anyway, though it sounds like I'm trying to cut a deal, I'm really asking for help in upholding the tradition of the Hash.

PR Racing, that is putting on this event, has asked for a couple of paragraphs regarding our participation, and this is what Shell Shocked has sent them. (For the record, they are really pleased with our participation, and have given us an official green light to have our beer stop.).

Here are the erections to get to ArgenTuna and Stop the Bus' house for the beer stop (the marathon starts at 6 am, but the beer stop probably won't get started until 7:30 am or so). I am hoping you guys will all be at the beer stop if I make it through on schedule around 8:15 am or so.

I am looking forward to setting the bike trail with Tuna and StB.

Erections: Meet at Stop The Bus and ArgenTuna's casa: 2430 Trapp Ave, Coconut Grove. I-95 South past downtown Miami, I-95 turns into US 1, keep going a few miles to 24th Ave, go left on 24th Ave which turns into Calusa St, two blocks along Calusa St take a right on Trapp Ave.
Their phone no. is 305-859-7315.

Vigin Dick laid Sunday's bike hash after running 26 miles in the Miami Marathon.
It was a lot of fun to ride around Coconut Grove. Grouchypus was there, and so was Hummer and Gator. Grouchy had already run the half-marathon, but he had plenty of energy. And Hummer and Gator and the rest of us had been passing out the beer at the hash beer stop at mile 22, so we had been handling beers since 7:30 am.



Stop the Bus had given away all the hash beer at the beer stop, as well as all the beer he had bought for the beer stop, so we needed to resupply. But apparently in Miami you can't buy beer on Sunday until noon. So while we waited we watched Virgin Dick model the latest in flour-laying accessories, and get ready to lay trail.



We watched him prepare some more.



He had some difficulty getting everything set just right.



So we kept waiting and watching.



Eventually VD and Stop were ready to go.



The next hour or so was a long trail through Coconut Grove, and possibly other parts of Miami. VD was laying trail with a single bag of flour, so marks were sparse. Eventually Tuna revealed that she knew the name of the park where the beer check was, but not the location. Fortunately Minator did the location, so he guided the pack there.



It was a nice park, right on the water. The auto-hashers were there, as were two hashers who had managed to follow trail (Gator? and someone else). Eventually Itsy showed up, as did ASA.



We did bike maintenance, rehydrated, critiqued the trail, and eventually got ready to complete the trail.



VD and STB saddled up (with a fresh bag of flour) and took off. We gave them three or minutes, and went after them. We finally caught up with them at Taste of the Grove, or something like that. It was a big food and music fest. The pack didn't stay long, but ASA and I saw a Vietnamese food tent, and got some curried chicken and noodles. Mmmm.



When ASA and I arrived back at the house the circle was in full swing. If by full swing you mean sitting in chairs in the shade, quietly singing down-down songs. We made our way through the rituals, interrupted only by a brief dog fight. There was still beer left, but finally the hash began breaking up. Chew Toy narrowly escaped a renaming to "Jew Toy", but escape he did. We loaded up and drove back up to Palm Beach.
