Trail Races

Sunday should be sunny and nicely warm so I propose you a social ride (with coffee) - unless the weather dramatically deteriorates. This will be a strictly non-drop, social, road-bike ride, beginning from the parking at La Grande Cascade. Here is the Strava route. [https://www.strava.com/activities/11829412836](https://www.strava.com/activities/11829412836) The ride will be somewhere just over 90km and around 950 meters of climbing - we can shortening 5 to 10 Kms before arriving to Dampierre if we feel that it's too long. Speed should be somewhere between 25-27km/h when out of Paris, possibly a little more on the flats. As always, please check the following: * do you have the cycling fitness and experience for this ride? * safety comes first: no helmet, no PCG ride. * this ride is for road bikes/velos de route, not for VTT etc. * check the weather in advance. * bring spare tube, bidons, energy bars, gels, etc. * bring money.

Lyric writing weekly group practice. A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.* Followed by other exercises. I adapt the program depending on who shows up. *Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.

🌳 🌳 🌳 *Et au milieu coule l’Yerres* Cette rivière, c’est un petit miracle ! Un couloir d’eau et de nature qui serpente à travers la banlieue parisienne. À Quincy, on sort rapidement de la zone commerciale pour rejoindre les rives idylliques de l’Yerres, avec ses moulins, ses cascades, ses libellules. Au fur et à mesure, le parcours s’urbanise mais les rives restent toujours verdoyantes. En chemin, vous croiserez deux résidences d’artistes majeures : la fondation Dubuffet à Périgny (inventeur de l’art brut) et la maison de Caillebotte à Yerres, avec son magnifique parc aux arbres centenaires. Bref, un parcours qui concilie parfaitement nature et culture tout en offrant un ombrage bien appréciable en cas de forte chaleur. **17km pour 110m de D+** **Allure: 4,5 – 5km/h** 🌳 🌳 🌳 🕘 **Départ : RDV 9h20 à gare de Lyon** au milieu de quai du train en direction de Melun (RER D).

PEM n'organise pas de promenades ou de randonnées dans le style des conférenciers, ils sont assez nombreux sur Paris, ils sont très bons dans leur domaine et leurs tarifs, les durées de leurs événements et leurs vitesses de marche ne sont pas les mêmes que nous. Si possible à chaque fin de parcours nous allons prendre un verre. Vous n'aurez pas au cours d'une promenade ou d'une randonnée une conférence sur 'histoire de France" ou sur "l'histoire d'un quartier". Un guide papier avec l'historique du parcours vous sera donné en début de sortie. Le but premier c'est de discuter et d'échanger avec des personnes dans le groupe qui viennent de tous les univers et d'un peu partout dans le monde tout en découvrant une exposition cachée, un bar insolite, une pâtisserie qui sort de l'ordinaire, un trompe l'oeil, des enseignes classées, un musée inhabituel, des graffitis pratiquement illisibles, un marché improbable, une forêt, une ferme... :-) Nous sommes un groupe atypique.

Hey, Let's celebrate the festival of colors at Jardin d'acclimatation on May 31st, 2026. We'll meet at 1:00 PM in front of elephants after the entrance. The event starts at 10H and lasts until 19H, you are free to come and go any time, but I highly suggest to be around the LVMH Foundation around 15H-16H. You can join the WhatsApp group : https://chat.whatsapp.com/HfBJVGxGmfvKDj37UVVIJ2?mode=gi_t A glimpse of what to expect: [https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared) For food, you have various stalls, where you need to pay and buy. There is an Indian village setup with stalls to purchase bangles, Indian traditional clothes, henna and tattoo as well. Added attractions: different dance workshops, a parade and many many more!!! Some points to consider: 1: The colors are dry organic, which will come off with a single wash and wipe, however, it is recommended to wear light cotton clothes. 2: It is recommended to carry a little cash because there is generally a network issue so sometimes the card machines might not work at the stalls. 3: You need to purchase the simple ticket for entry to the Jardin worth 7€ to gain entry to the event: [https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple](https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple) 4: You can purchase colors at the event site so you don't need to necessarily carry colors with yourself.

Hi Badminton Fans! Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from, **This 11 am - Open Session is open to players of all levels.** **If you are a complete beginner -** Talk to us first before signing up, and we can try to make accommodations and maybe have beginners-only court to begin with, with one of the organisers ready to explain all of the basics, such as serving, scoring, rules etc, as well as some pointers to help you progress. **Which Session To Choose** If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start, or ask us! We will try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels. **What Do You Need** Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun. There are changing rooms and showers. **Get There Early** Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing. **Registration & Payments** Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session. **No Refunds** In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds. See you all on the court on Sunday. Happy badminton-ing! Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832), **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English! 2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help! * Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly. 3. I signed up, but I can’t make it! Can I get a refund? * No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees. 4. Why can’t I get a refund? * We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off. 5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.

**History** [Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places. The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails. Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century. The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988. In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous. **Where We'll Meet** Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike. Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here. **After the Hike** Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular. I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager. BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.

**Weather permitting**, we’ll take a casual ride from Pickerington Ponds (Glacier Knoll) to Three Creeks and back. Distance is **18–25 miles**, depending on where we turn around and whether we add a side loop. Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, no‑drop ride — we can slow down as needed. Here’s the **map** showing Glacier Knoll (bike), Confluence Park (flag), and BrewDog: [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..). Text or call Scott at **614‑975‑4458** if you’re coming. Columbus ski club membership not required for this event. CSC assumes no responsibility for the event or any injuries as this is organized by a third party.
