This will likely be our last meetup until the fall!
We will be bringing back our optional brunch potluck after the run for this meetup, to give people a chance to socialize and get to know each other. Keep scrolling for the brunch sign up if you are interested.
Plan to arrive 7:45 or earlier, we will be hitting the trail by 8:00am sharp. There are several parking areas, so we will plan on meeting up at the picnic shelter in the map posted in the discussion.
Multiple distances are possible, there is a 3-mile and also a 6.5 mile loop, shorter-out-and-backs also possible.
Terrain: This is an on-leash area, no mountain bikes are allowed on Saturdays. Rolling, hilly terrain, not as flat as our first meetups and at a higher elevation. Trees/shade, some more open areas. There is a water source at the turn around point for the longer route. "Mountain vistas, views of golden plains, scenic trails, diverse habitats, and a rich heritage make Betasso Preserve a favorite destination in the foothills."
Beginners are welcome, we may have some extra bungee lines, belts, etc... At a minimum, have a non-restrictive harness for your dog. In a pinch, a climbing harness can help you get a feel for the sport!

If you are interested in the brunch potluck, sign up here to bring finger foods/beverages (or a dish to share if you are feeling ambitious):

Hopefully we will be able to grab the picnic pavilion area, but maybe bring a camp chair just in case it is already claimed.
Hope to see you there!
