Training Hike - Twin Creek
- February 23 · 10:00 AM
Time for another training hike with Mtn Laurel to prepare us for hiking the White Mountains. We will hike the orange and purple trails for a total of 8 miles at a moderate pace of 2.5 to 3 mph. The trail has a several challenging hills for your cardio workout. Please wear hiking boots and bring your hiking poles. Bring a lunch or snack to eat half way through our hike so you can keep up your energy level. I look forward to seeing you out on the hiking trail.

Description of the park: This outstanding natural area contains steep, wooded ravines containing mature forest with a diverse understory plant life, extensive areas of second growth forest, floodplain forest, several large managed grasslands, a large scenic pond, and the beautiful Twin Creek. In addition, the MetroPark contains a winding prehistoric Indian mound and a scenic hilltop vista.

This hike was last weekend. You can only go to it if you have a time machine to take you into the past. LOL!

We had a great time slipping and sliding in the mud. It was such a beautiful day for a hike with some great people.

Why are so many people bailing because of mud? I mean we are going to have mud all Spring and we still must train to be ready for Mt Washington.

I use the Cybex Arc Trainer at my gym and I agree it is a great training aid for most things

I'm deleting my plus one & Kathie is adding her. I may not hike. Good chance I'll cancel because I hate mud.

Weather for our hike will be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees when we start to 36 degrees when we finish. Expect to encounter ice and mud on the trails. So I strongly advise you to bring your hiking sticks and to use them. If you don't bring them don't blame me if you fall down. Also wear your gaiters to keep the mud off your pants.

Mud, which will make us slide & gunk up our cleats, and ice which will make us fall if we don't wear cleats. Sounds awful. I'm going to check with my guest... Cuz I may bail on this hike & just use my treadmill.

Bring your backpacks we will be hiking with them on the purple trail to get our backs use to it. If you do the whole trail with it as your first time with a pack you will be sore and cursing me out! LOL!

Laurel, when do you estimate we'll be finished? Will I make it to my daughter's concert at Wright State at 3:00?

I estimate we will be done by 1:30 or 2:00 pm but there is an option to cut the hike short and get done sooner. If you just do the 6 mile loop you should be done in plenty of time.

Laurel--I will be on my way to Sedona that day...however, I promise to take many challenging hikes out there, and with the hotter weather, it should be more like our July trip!
