DIFFICULTY: D4 (there will be several short but VERY STEEP ups and downs!)

DIFFICULTY: D3 (for pace and distance)

Here are more details

Hiking on the dual use mountain bike trails is a lot of fun. There are many twists and turns and some very steep ups and downs.

I usually do hikes on those trails at a quick pace, with some jogging and running.

If you have been curious and interested to hike on the mountain bike trails but would rather do it at a more moderate pace, then try this event!

We will hike at a moderate pace. If you need to take your time on the steep slopes, that will be ok.

I won't be running ahead. We will hike as a group, taking into account that this may be the first time some hikers will be hiking on the bike trails.

Advanced hikers are welcome, but be prepared to wait for those who need extra time.
