Intermediate Pickleball, level 3.0-3.5 in South Pasadena (FREE)
Sat, Sep 26, 4:00 PMCome join us for weekly friendly games of lower intermediate to intermediate level pickleball! Our goal is to create a group of reliable regulars and newcomers that are roughly the same level and want to play for social fun and exercise, but still challenge themselves to play better and better. **LEVEL**: Lower intermediate to fully intermediate, approx. 3.0-3.5 level. We are friendly and welcoming, but please don't overestimate your level as this is **NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS OR ADVANCED BEGINNERS.** (I am probably 3.0 after two+ years of casual play. ) **HOW IT WORKS:** We'll play on two courts and ideally we need 10-11 players for the best experience. **EVERYONE WILL GET TO PLAY MOST OF THE TIME** and everyone will switch partners each time. **COMMITMENT:** Because we aim at exactly 10-11 people it is important that people sign up only if they are certain that they will attend and drop out as early as possible, if necessary. We need eight people to start and finish on both courts, so please be on time and plan to stay for full 2h. If some people want to play another 1/2-1h I will stay to provide the nets. No-shows and anyone cancelling in the last 24h before an event more than one time every so often will not be invited back. No guests allowed. **WAITLIST** (if needed) Regulars with good attendance records will get some priority. **NO CRASHING, PLEASE!** **BRING**: Your paddle, water, sunglasses and possibly a chair. I will provide the nets and the balls. **COURTS**: We will play on free less-than-perfect courts that are easily available, but we have no reservations. (in the unlikely event that the courts are in lock down we will drive 3 min to another S.Pas. location) There is not much fencing, so we play with many balls and let them run off till the end of the game. **ETIQUETTE:** 1) Have fun! 2) No apologizing for bad shots! 3) Tips on how to improve as players are appreciated, but only in between games. During a game only positive comments for good vibes, please! **PARKING**: Easy, free street parking. **Enter** **from** **BANK** **ST.** **RESTROOMS**: Usually there is a Port-a-Potty on location. Drinking fountains are available. **LIABILITY**: The organizer is an uncompensated and untrained volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries, health issues, material losses and for assessing all risks. Each member shall make their guests aware of these policies and releases the host from all liability.

Weekend Warriors: 7.0 Mile Urban Hike San Marino/Pasadena, Fast Pace
Sun, Sep 27, 3:30 PMCome join us for a FAST-paced urban hike around the winding hills and beautiful streets of peaceful San Marino and Pasadena. Enjoy the scenery, the architecture, the wide streets, and the cool morning air. **NOTE**: Before signing up, be sure to review the safety guidelines and policies below, including the 'No Crashing'/'Guests Must Also Sign Up' policy and the 'Timeframe for Cancelling an RSVP/Signup' policy. **LEVEL**: Advanced/Fast speed (approximately 16-17 mins per mile), some long street inclines, otherwise moderate plus. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourages newcomers, but please note that moderate+ level of cardio fitness and fast walking speed are required. **LENGTH**: 7.0 miles, some long street inclines. Elevation gain is 300ft. Approximately 2:00 hours. **SPEED**: Advanced/Fast speed of approximately 16-17 mins per mile. We will try to take a quick pause to re-group at the top of stairs and steep hills but our regulars like to keep up a good solid fast pace of about 16-17 minutes per mile. There will be no sweep, so bring your phone for navigation just in case you fall behind or want to leave early. **BRING**: Exercise outfit, workout shoes, and sufficient water. **MEETING POINT**: We will meet for introductions at 8:30 am on the northwest corner of Mission Street and El Molino Road in San Marino, CA 91108, and take off sharply at 8:35 am. **RESTROOMS**: There are none along the way, unless you count any random Port-a-Potties that we might come across along the route. **PARKING**: Free street parking around the intersection of Mission Street and El Molino Road. Parking at your own risk. **'NO CRASHING'/'GUESTS MUST ALSO SIGN UP':** All participants MUST sign up through the Meetup app and check in with the leader upon arrival. If someone is a bringing a guest, then that guest MUST also sign up as well through the Meetup app *before* the hike if space is available. There are NO exceptions. The waitlist, if any, generally clears in order. Members with a good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get some priority. **TIMEFRAME FOR CANCELLING AN RSVP/SIGNUP**: Please sign up ONLY if you think there's a *realistic* chance that you will make the hike. If folks sign up and then decide that they can't make it, please be sure to change your RSVP to "Not Going" at least 24-36 hours before the scheduled time for the hike in order: (1) allow me to more accurately predict the number of participants on the hike, and (2) allow people on the waitlist to join the hike within a reasonable amount of time of the hike. Waiting until the last minute to cancel (or simply not showing up) is not fair to me and to other LA Hiking members. **PROFILE NAME AND PIC**: Be sure to update your profile to indicate at least your first name and include a picture showing your face, per group policy. This is for your safety and to discourage non-signed-up crashers. **LIABILITY**: The organizer is an untrained and unpaid volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full and total responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries and health issues, assessing all risks, for any material losses, for falling behind, and for getting lost. Each member fully releases the host from any and all liability.

We will leave at 9 am sharp. MEETING PLACE : I will be right inside the green iron gate near the water fountain just off Mulholland Parking : parking lot near entrance gate. More parking on Mulholland but pay attention to signs. RAIN CANCELS This is a loop I do weekly. Each loop is approximately 2 miles/50 minutes. You can do as few or as many as you want. We'll go down the fire road to East ridge then come up West ridge fire road. I usually do 3 laps. You can exit at the Mulholland gate after any lap.

It's a humorous way of dealing with the reality of death, which is after all a part of life. If all that sounds a little grim, I have been to this event in the past and found it to be one of the biggest, liveliest parties I have ever seen!
