I'll email everyone who wants to be notified by Monday afternoon at the latest with details for that week's hike.

The hikes will vary between 3 1/2 - 5 miles in length, and won't last longer than 2 hours. The pace will be attainable, don't worry about not being able to "keep up." The point of these is to get us in shape for summer activities.
