6.5-7 miles BRISK FAST walk Monroe bike trail at Williamstown end (Owens Park)
Details
For this hike, we will head out from Owens Park in Williamstown (right next to the Williamstown HS). We will walk around the park trails a bit, then head over to the Monroe trail. This trail accommodates runners, walkers, and bike riders. There will be 1 major road crossing at Tuckahoe Road. Depending on conditions, I may go off on some side paths occasionally. The total distance will be around 6.5 to 7 miles, maybe longer if we feel up to exploring further. The pace will be a moderate pace at 19-21 minutes per mile or 3-3.25.
This is a brisk, fast, quick pace. If you can do 3 miles in 1 hour with no stopping, you will be fine. No scheduled breaks.
There have been recently quite a few no shows on hikes. A no show is someone who doesnt bother to take themselves off of a hike if they can't attend. If this occurs, moving forward, my hikes probably aren't for you.
Only paid members of OCSJ are allowed on hikes.
No pets are allowed.
Thankfully, there are bathrooms port a potties at the beginning.
Arrive at 845am. Plan to start on time at 9 am. There is plenty of parking in the lots. I will be beside a black Honda Pilot. I have a long blonde braid.
Will cancel by 7am for inclement weather.
