Adams Hill Urban Hike (SW. Glendale and E. Eagle Rock), Level: Moderate+
Sun, Oct 11, 3:30 PMCome join us for a great workout, for discovering unique areas of the city and for meeting new people to do an urban hill hike in the beautiful Adams Hill area of Glendale and the most eastern, hilly, part of Eagle Rock! This route will take us in charming residential areas with many winding hill roads and views of different sides of Los Angeles. **LEVEL**: Intermediate Plus for speed and some inclines, otherwise moderate. We are a friendly group that loves to socialize and encourages new-comers, but please note moderate+ level of cardio fitness and walking speed are required. **LENGTH**: 6.4 miles, three staircases up. Elevation gain is 1100ft. +/-2 1/2h. **SPEED**: Brisk, with a quick pause to re-group at the top of the hills. There will be no sweep, bring your phone for navigation just in case you want to leave early. **BRING**: Exercise outfit, workout shoes (no hiking shoes needed), sunscreen and water. **MEETING POINT**: We meet a block NE of Target at 8.30am for introductions and we take off sharply at 8.35am. (If you are just a few minutes late you can skip the first stairs and meet us at the corner of Medlow Ave. and Banbury Pl.) **If driving from south be aware that CicLAvia ( 9am-4pm in DTLA, Chinatown and Echo Park) street closures may add to your drive time!** **RESTROOMS**: at Target (left back corner), please be back by 8.35am. They also have Starbucks coffee. No restrooms along the way. **PARKING**: Free, unlimited street parking in five directions. **PLEASE NO CRASHING!** Urban hikes do not work well with large groups so, unfortunately, space is limited. I "overbook" events in anticipation of some last-minute dropouts, so you cannot assume that those spots will be available. The wait list, if necessary, generally clears in order, but people with good attendance record and a posted picture (LA Hiking Group rule) may get priority. **LIABILITY**: The organizer is an untrained and uncompensated volunteer. By joining this event each member accepts full responsibility for knowing their limits, for all injuries and health issues, assessing all risks, for any material losses and for getting lost. Each member agrees to make their guests aware of these policies, also, and release the host from all liability.

Culver City Park to Kenneth Hahn Loop
Sun, Oct 11, 3:20 PMWell, it's supposed to cool down by Sunday. Keeping my fingers crossed. We meet at 8:20 and leave at 8:30 sharp. The hike is about 6 miles and the elevation about 1000 feet. The entrance to the park is at the intersection of Jefferson Blvd. and Duquesne Ave in Culver City. At the intersection, go south on Duquesne. You will be going uphill. Go to the stop sign and make a left. Go up the hill and make another left (you have no other choice). You will wind around a baseball field on your left. Go to the parking lot just beyond it. That's where we will meet. By the way, there are plenty of restrooms on this hike.

Weekend Warriors: 7.0 Mile Urban Hike San Marino/Pasadena, Fast Pace
Sat, Oct 17, 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.
