Conditioning Hike: Santa Rosa Sunset, 6-7 miles

Conditioning hike for those who are usually at the front of the pack, or at least those who keep up with me. I'm the slowest on the conditioning hikes!

Pace: 3.0mph-3.3mph overall average. Participants stay between leader and sweep. No rushing ahead.

Route: Leader's choice, anything possible. It's a mystery until we get there.

Please, no guests. You must be signed up at Fun in the Sun Club Meetup, thereby agreeing to Meetup's Release of Liability (https://www.meetup.com/terms/). Don't show up without signing up here first. Thank you.
