5:30 start - Hike Old Cedar Ave Bridge with socializing at Bald Man Brewing

Please note - if you want to attend, but the 5:30 start time is too early, please comment on the hike & the time can be adjusted. Just trying to take advantage of more daylight :)

Old Cedar Ave Bridge trail includes flat & hilly terrain and is a fun trail in the day or evening! This hike will be about 7.5 miles long with a pace of 16:00 - 16:30 minute miles. This can be considered a fast pace with the distance & terrain. Please make sure that you can keep the pace. The leaders will do their best to keep the pace to accommodate the speed posted.

We'll meet in the parking lot by the trailhead sign at Cedar Nicols Trailhead. NOTE: this is not the Bloomington location trailhead. Use the pin with this event. If you don't have a smart phone, or the app on your phone, look up the address for Cedar Nichols trailhead. As with any place that you may park, please do not leave valuables in your car. We have never incurred an incident at this location, however, we have heard of incidents and it seems to be on the rise. Don't give a thief a reason to break into your vehicle.

After the hike we can head to Bald Man Brewing for a beverage and socializing. Bald Man is located at 2020 Silver Bell Rd, Eagan, MN 55122 and is right on the way to any destination. Bald Man has Bingo on Wednesday's and is a lot of fun!

Hiking Tips:
1. dress for the weather. You will get warm, so layers work well. Even if you get warm, be smart and don't dress for fashion.
2. Decent shoes. Well fitting tennis shoes or hiking boots are fine. Casual shoes are not a good option.
3. Bring water as desired.

Please keep your RSVP up to date. If you aren't able to make it, or something comes up on the way to the hike, please post a comment. It is hard to wait in the cold for someone that may not be coming.

Note* By signing up for this event, you agree you can keep the pace posted. Participants of the event are counting on the leader to keep going because that is what they expect. It is always a good idea to have All Trails loaded onto your phone to identify a route if necessary.

By signing up for this event, you agree to take personal responsibility for any incidents/accidents that may happen. It is nature and there are roots/rocks on the trail and falls can happen.
