Calendar!
These below are 'confirmed'
times and dates!
We are sometime
asked what a 'Group Walk' (as opposed to a Year Round Event (YRE) or
Event) is - We credit our sister club in Albany, the ESCV (EMPIRE STATE
CAPITAL VOLKSSPORTERS) for the following definition of GROUP walks: "Group Walk means all meet and signup together at the
same time, get a map and
start together, then you proceed at your own pace. There are NO GUIDES
for this kind of walk.. Nor does a group have to
stay together. "; so when you see this term in our calendar below,
you'll now know what it means! We usually have fast walkers, slow
walkers, and medium walkers, there's
almost always someone you can walk with if you join us for your first
time in a GROUP WALK!
As always, changes from the previous month in RED!
