Happy Hour and Ice Skating!!!- WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
Sun, Dec 20, 3:00 AMSaturday, Jan 2, 2025 is very good chance of rain. Moving this event to next year. Sometimes plans need to change. Sure. You can show up and the old date listed. It's not going to be a led or organized event. This is a yearly annual event we lead. The concept is really simple. . . Around the holidays some outdoor ice rinks open around town. We pick a Low Class or No Class watering hole near by to one of the rinks and meet there for Happy Hour. Then . . . we head out to go Ice Skate. What's The Worst That Can Happen? The reality is . . . not too much . . . Many folks decide the indoor and warm social beats out cold and slippery ice. Even so . . . we tried. So each year we try it again . . . with the hope of idiots on ice. Let's make this year different and really get out there and have proper folly occur. The Bar: The Gallery Bar located at Biltmore Hotel 506 Grand Avenue The Rink: Pershing Square 532 South Olive Street **WHERE?** This event is a Two Part event. ***The Bar,*** *and* ***The Ice.*** 7 to 11 PM @ The Bar. If you are going to stay at the bar. 7 to 9 PM @ The Bar if doing Ice Skating. 9 to 11 PM @ The Ice Rink if doing Ice Skating **The Concept:** * Get there by 7 and socialize. * At 9 PM head across the street to The Ice Rink.

Monrovia Hillside Preserve Conditioning - Advanced
Tue, Nov 10, 11:20 PM(Check comments for updates) Join us for a great conditioning hike in the Monrovia Hillside Preserve with some nice scenic views as well. It is very steep in parts so it will give you an excellent cardio, leg, and butt workout. (Event is cross posted) **DIFFICULTY: ADVANCED** You already need to be well conditioned for this workout. Although the distance is relatively short this is a high intensity workout and some sections are very steep. **TRAINING CONCEPT:** The focus will be to get a great workout and improve our conditioning walking at a brisk pace (3-4 mph) on flatter sections and going up some steep inclines (1.5-2 mph). This will essentially be a form of interval training, which is actually quite effective for increasing our cardio capacity/fitness level. Some may also choose to jog/run some flatter sections, but this is entirely optional. We'll all push ourselves a bit individually in order to get our heart rate up and then catch our breath and re-group at the junctions and hilltops. Due to the steepness, it is important to wear shoes with great traction. **THE PLAN:** We will meet at the gate at the end of Highland Pl. at 3:20 PM, do some stretching and introductions etc. and get started heading up the trail at 3:30 PM. There are a few trail options, so the idea is to change it up a little every time. **DISTANCE & ELEVATION GAIN:** This varies depending on route, but it should be about 5-6 miles and about 1600 ft. or so of elevation gain **TIME REQUIRED:** About 2 hours or so. **WHAT TO BRING:** * Trail running shoes or flexible hiking booths with plenty of traction (important) * Hydration system (best) or a bottle with water or Gatorade etc. * Headlamp in case it gets dark before we are done * Your cell phone (make sure organizer has your number). * Consider layered clothing **PARKING:** There should be plenty of parking along Highland Pl. **NO SHOWS:** It is inconsiderate to the organizer and anyone on the waiting list to RSVP and not show up, therefore I am registering no-shows. For this event you need to change your RSVP to "No" minimum 30 minutes before the start of the event. If you have multiple no-shows on your record, you will be considered unreliable and may not be admitted to certain events and when there are people on the waiting list. **DISCLAIMER:** Please ensure that you are in good health before participating in a high intensity activity like this one. If you are in doubt, please get a check-up with a physician. As an event organizer I assume absolutely no responsibility for you. I am simply a "training buddy", nothing more. If you choose to participate, you assume all responsibility for yourself and agree not to hold me or our Meetup group liable in any way.
