The Bimbler's Sound

Their Will

Loopy — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:11:51 +0000

The rocks are where they are- this is their will. The rivers flow-this is their will. The birds fly-this is their will. Human beings talk-this is their will. The seasons change, heaven sends down rain or snow, the earth occasionally shakes, the waves roll, the stars shine-each of them follows its own will. To be is to will and so is to become. D.T. Suzuki

Ev’rybody Has A Laughing Place

Everybody’s got a laughing place
A laughing place to go
Take a frown, turn it upside down
And you’ll find yours we know

Bimbler’s Bash 2012

Mr Bimble — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:08:24 +0000

The 6th Bimbler’s Bash is scheduled to take place on Sunday April 1st, 2012 and run through Westwoods, Guilford and all proceeds from the event are donated to the Guilford Land Conservation Trust. This race is promoted as a 10k event but rumors are abound that the course might be a tad longer. On race day remember as you near the finish this is an event, “… where soul meets sole …”!

Date and time: April 1, 2012 @ 9:00 am

Location: Cox School, 143 Three Mile Course, Guilford CT

Registration: Register on-line via Active.com or via Mail-in Application

Race entries will be limited to 250. Depending on how many advance entries received, race day registrations may be limited. Please check the web site for details on registrations as they are received. The race will be sanctioned by the USA Track and Field Association.

The Race

The Bimblers Bash 10k is an entirely off-road loop within Westwoods, Guilford made up from a series of interconnecting single track hiking trails. You should expect to negotiate lots of rocks, roots and possibly get your feet wet, plus with two rock scrambles be prepared for an adventure! This is a true trail race and the technical nature of the terrain will mean that you will be exposed to the risk of injury. While every reasonable effort will be made to ensure your safety and enjoyment, all participants must be prepared to accept full responsibility for these risks.

The Bash course is rumored to be longer than the advertised distance, is this true? Maybe, there are 10k’s and then there is the Bash!

A map and description of the course can be found here
