ADVANCED: Monday Night Garage Pizza Stairs Hike

This is a fast paced hike. No beginners please! There is no sweep-last person who knows the route.

You are responsible for keeping pace with the group. If you are not able to keep pace, you are on your own to get back to the start!

If you don't agree with this, please do not sign up for this walk!

Time for our first Garage Pizza Stair Hike of 2015 . We will do the 2 C Tomato Pie route and the first three and last staircase of the Silver Lake Reservoir route. That combo route is about 5.6 miles. An easy bail out point at about the 4 mile mark, just walk south on Fountain to Sunset. We do not run, but go at a fast pace!

Please wear light colored clothing and bring a flashlight.

After the hike, on Monday's, Garage Pizza has a $15 any pizza special! The pizzas are huge, 20in. pies. It's also BYOB!

Starting Point:

Garage Pizza
4339 W Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90029
(323) 668-1190

Time: Please arrive at Garage Pizza by 6:30pm. Walk will start promptly at 6:45pm. Please don't expect to arrive at 6:43 and for the group to wait for you to use the restroom. We will leave at 6:45pm, with or without you.

Use the bathrooms at Jay's Bar-across the parking lot from Garage Pizza.

Parking: Free street parking on Hoover or Talmadge (both streets are off of Fountain). Metered street parking on Fountain and Sunset. I would not park in Garage Pizza's parking lot. Your car may get towed.

Pace- Please be honest about your conditioning level!

Fast, workout pace. This mean we do not stop and wait for people at the top of staircases and there will not be any rest stops.

You are responsible for keeping up with the pace of the group.

If you are unable to keep up with the group, you are on your own to get back to the starting point.

Print out the map of the route, in case you aren't able to keep up with the group.

Reminders:

All walks should be treated like a work out. They are not guided tours!

No crashers- Please sign up for this event. Please do not just show up.

RSVP limits are set, because I don't want a huge group on these walks. So, if you RSVP only for yourself, don't bring a guest.

Please keep your RSVP updated and current. Repeated No Shows may lead to members being removed from the group.

There usually are no restrooms along these walks. Restrooms are usually only available at the starting point of the walks.

Dogs are welcomed but must be on a leash at all times.

Always bring plenty of water.

Always wear running/tennis shoes. Open toed shoes are not a good idea for these stairs walks.

Any questions or concerns please email me, David.
