Thu, Jan 30 2025 - Thursday Morning Semi-Fitness Hike at Island Ford (View Original Event Details)
| ![]() |
What a great hike we had today, pretty much a fitness hike rather than a semi-fitness hike. This veteran group all know the drill, and they cooperate with whatever is thrown at them without complaint. (Well, Steve whined a bit today, but he kept up with us.) We hiked 5.9 miles in 2 hours, including several stops for water and clothing adjustments. It gave me a chance to take pictures since Lee wasn't with us to help today.
Neil surprised us with a first-place up the warm-up hill! He usually hikes in the back of the group, so imagine our surprise when he passed everyone on the hill. And he even smiled for a photo at the top! Well done, Neil!
The morning air was cool and damp, which gave us all a chill; however, once the sun came out, we heated up quickly, so lots of jackets and layers came off when we stopped at the upper lot.
Well done today, everyone! ~ Joyce
