This one is for the Early Birds!

Catch a spectacular sunrise? Check!

Get your daily workout in before breakfast? Check!

Avoid the insane daytime beltline crowds? Check, check, & Check!

Convinced? Good! Here's the plan: We'll start bright and early on the South end of the Krog Tunnel, keep fingers crossed for only high level clouds so we get a spectacular sunrise as we make our happy way past the various artwork installations on the E. Beltline, to the western edge of Piedmont Park Lake for the obligatory photo, around the lake and back via the beltline to Krog Street tunnel. Ta daa!

DISCLAIMER: This is a BRISK HIKE (2.7 to 3 miles per hour = 20 to 22 minute/mile) so, if you have mobility issues, are recovering from injury, or prefer a slower pace, please sit this one out!

Notes:

1. Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

2. In order to earn credit for this event, participants must begin and complete the entire hike/event with the group, within the stated time frame.

3. Late cancellations, particularly within 36 hours of the event, make it difficult for those on the waitlist to attend. Please be courteous to your fellow AOC members and cancel with as much notice as possible.

4. When an event has an active waitlist, the trip leader reserves the right to assign a “no show” to members who sign up and then fail to attend the event.

5. If you need to get in touch, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.

6. I usually hike RAIN-or-SHINE, except in severe thunderstorms, or freezing rain.

7. In case of severe weather or other unforeseen emergencies that warrant a cancellation, I will text/email you at least TWO HOURS before the start of the event.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
