Yo Dayton, Let's Hike! (20s 30s 40s)

Hey all,

This will be the short(er) version of the hike for this week. Still will be approximately 6 to 7 miles at a 3mph pace. For this we'll meet at the Visitor's center at 10am and leave your car there. We will then carpool up to fifty springs which is the start point for this hike (i have some people who volunteered already to carpool). We'll then hike back to the Visitor's center which should be about 7 miles or so. We've done this is in the past and it seemed to work well so that everyone gets the hike they are looking for.

See everyone soon!

As always will cancel if it's going to rain super hard

Hey all,

So this is the perimeter version of this week's hike for those of you who are looking for a longer hike. This hike is approximately 12.5 to 13 miles at a 3 mph pace. It will start at 1030 to give us time to carpool the people who want to do the shorter version up to 50 springs (i could use some help car pooling people for thise interested please message in the comments if you're able to help). We will take a 15 to 20 minute break at the Visitor's center which is approximately half way for bathrooms, etc. (This version puts the hills in the beginning). Definitely bring water and probably a snack.

As always will cancel for hard rain

Hey all,

This is the hardcore version this week for those who want a tough hike. This is the last version (and longest version) of this week's hike. It will incorporate the perimeter trail and the fifty springs loop. It's approximately 16 miles at a 3 mph pace. We'll meet at fifty springs at 1030 am. We'll stop for a break at the Visitor's center for 15 to 20 minutes and we'll probably do some smaller breaks as well. I'll probably go into Waynesville for a celebratory beer or McDonald's afterwards, lol. Bring water and snacks.

As always will cancel for hard rain

Hello everyone! Planning to do a hike at the Twin Creek Metropark. This is the other big park (in addition to Germantown) for the TVT Challenge (a 30 mile hike around/through both parks, held in June). This hike is part of preparing for the TVT, but this hike is open for all!

Plan is to do the Orange and Purple trail for 8.1 miles. Around 3 mph. Feel free to do an out and back if you are interested in a shorter hike. Bring some water! There is some elevation, so be warned (but you should come out anyways, because you enjoy challenges).

We are meeting at 9688 Eby Road at the HighView lot.

NOTE: I've put the event to start at around 9:45 am (odds are it will start closer to 9:50/9:55), and I've made it end at about 12:30pm. Odds are we won't take that long, but we may take some short breaks and stops if needed.
