Itinerary:

 

If you want a good work out and like a fast pace, then come join me for an after work Fitness hike at Olde Rope Mill Park in Woodstock.

We'll be hiking on the Taylor Randal Memorial Bike Trails, which hiking is permitted.

The trails are directional by day of the week and we'll be hiking all 3 loops.

Bikes have right of way at all times, so if we see any bikers, then we'll need to quickly move off trail to allow them to pass. On the warmer evenings, we've been seeing quite a few bikes, so we should be aware at all times.

Be sure to bring your headlamp or a flashlight because this is a night hike. :-)

This is a fast paced group and our goal is to get in a good workout, but also to stay as a group.  We'll be hiking anywhere from 3.5 to 4 mile an hour. Probably more like 4 mph. If you are not sure that you can maintain that pace, this may not be the hike for you. Your TL will be contacting you if there are questions about your ability to keep pace.

Once we start hiking and you can't keep up with the group, then your TL also reserves the right to direct you back to the parking area after loop one. (I'm looking out for the best interest of the member, the group and your TL)


Total hiking is approximately 6.25 miles.

 We'll be hiking Loop 1, 2 and 3 of the Avalanche Trail
