Disclaimers:
A quick reminder that this is our hobby, We do this for fun, to socialize, get exercise, be in nature and meet cool new people. Please set your expectations, and if you are expecting no risk and professionally run events, this may not be a good fit for you. We want to have fun and share our passion for the outdoors. We also want you all to enjoy yourselves too. No bad attitudes please. :)
As with all our events please remember that you are responsible for your own safety. There are the typical risks for any outdoor event plus we are in a pandemic. I cannot eliminate all risk for those who attend this event and you must take responsibility for yourself but I will do my best to use common sense best practices to try and minimize our risks.
