ABOUT:

This is an intermediate/advanced level conditioning hike composed of a looped route with a mix of trails and sidewalk/bike paths, along with some not too long but fairly steep hills. This hike is for those who have recent hiking, running, or other advanced cardio exercise experience. The trail is dog friendly.

Afterwards some of us will be going to Peet's Coffee, and the Farmers Market for free samples and fresh veges, etc!
