Vickery Creek - Mill Side Fitness Hike & (optional) Moxie Burgers P.S.:please read the write-up!

I'm going to work my mojo, cross my fingers, and do my secret anti-rain dance to ward off the rain this afternoon! It has worked 50% of the time for the past few months (IYKYK)!

Let's burn some calories on the beautiful trails at Vickery Creek. Then come join me at Moxie Burger for burgers and beverages, or whatever suits your tastebuds!

We'll warm up for the first half mile and then keep a fast pace stopping briefly only twice. MANDATORY: Please bring plenty of water that is easily accessible! Hopefully we'll have a breeze to help offset some of the heat.

There are restrooms at this location and parking is FREE! Unless you park in a no parking zone, then it's like $50. 

The hike starts and ends at the top of the hill, at the parking lot, not down by the covered bridge! Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the bathroom if needed. Yes, you have to go down the hill and back up again before we start if you need to use the facilities. If you're running late or can't make it at the last minute, please call or text me at 678-764-8516.

This is not a beginner hike, it is a fitness hike.

We hike at a fast pace with only a few short breaks for water. I do not have a sweep! If you fall behind, unless you're injured, you will be on your own and will not get credit for the hike. You can still meet us at Moxie Burgers if you've survived and are hungry...or need a cold brew! You should have previous D2 Fast hike or D3 Fast hike experience to do this hike. If I feel you don't have the requirements to do this hike, I may remove you from the roster for your own safety and in fairness to the rest of the group.

NOTE: If you are new to the AOC, please include a message with your registration telling me about your hiking experience/level of fitness. If I don't hear from you, I will move you to the waitlist until I hear from you.

Please understand all trip leaders are volunteers and most of us have full time jobs. We may not have time to call new members to discuss their fitness for a particular hike. It really helps us to run a successful hike if new members let us know what fitness activities they do so we can determine if the hike is a good fit for them.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK ALL VALUABLES IN YOUR TRUNK and OUT OF SIGHT!

See you on the trail!

We are meeting down the hill from the shops at the Roswell Mill Center where the parking is free.  It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect.  Keep driving down the road until you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the hill.  For a zoomable map or satellite view of that spot click the rectangular blue and green "event location" icon near the top of this article.
