Meet other local members to ride, paddle, explore trails, talk gear and trade tips. We are here for anything fun outdoors and indoors. Some of our popular events include cycling, kayaking and skating but we are not limited to those. For example, hiking if there are leaders and enough interested members. Also, our events aren't limited to the city of Detroit, most of our events are in Southeast Michigan and there may be a few farther away. All levels of cyclists are welcome. We primarily do recreational rides on paved roads or trails. There will be group rides on streets with traffic. There will be group rides on the rails to trails that anyone can ride. Many are geared to a relaxed pace of 10-15 mph, distance varies. We may also plan some other rides such as mountain, fitness, and road biking, etc. if there is interest. All levels of paddlers are welcome. Many of us have kayaks but SUPs and canoes are also welcome and you can rent many places if you don't own. We primarily will be doing recreational paddling on local rivers with not much current, suitable for beginners or intermediate level. Some locations may be more advanced. There will also be other activities posted from time to time such as skating, social events or other activities that fit within the group's topics. The goal is to gather, make new friends and share activities that get you outdoors and/or keep you active. Your main profile picture should be a clear shot of your face so we can recognize you at events. Pictures of your child, pet, motorcycle, favorite cartoon character or even a group shot (which one are you?) aren't acceptable. If that's a problem you should contact the organizer to discuss it. \ **NEW** See here for our latest RSVP and attendance policies: [https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/31252444/Active_in_Detroit_group_policies/](https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/31252444/Active_in_Detroit_group_policies/) **NEW** Support your Meetup group by paying dues or making a donation: https://www.meetup.com/Activeindetroit/pages/17195192/Membership_dues/ \ All events are adult only unless otherwise specified in the event description. \ We are now on Facebook, which will make it easier for communication and event sharing.

Metro Detroit Outdoors & Hiking (Sierra Club S.E. Michigan)

Royal Oak, MI

Metro Detroit Outdoors & Hiking (Sierra Club S.E. Michigan)
**MDOH** Do you like being outdoors and active? Give us a try. We are outside four seasons of the year with lots of hiking, some canoeing, camping and x-c skiing. This Meetup is a project of the local Sierra Club Group--[Southeast Michigan Group](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan) (SEMG), a part of the [Michigan Chapter](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan) of National Sierra Club, one of the oldest environmental activist organizations in the US.  The project is designed to give metro-Detroiters outdoor experiences with the hope that they will be motivated to be more concerned about our natural environment and perhaps decide to join Sierra Club.  At each outdoor activity, participants are asked to sign a liability waiver and pay a $1 fee which helps cover the cost of the Meetup website and other SEMG Outings Committee expenses. Important information about how MDOH operates is at the **Details** section, below.  Please read it before participating.  Also read the activity description and assess your ability/preparedness to complete the activity. While the summary of the outing may say that "location information is not available," in reality, it is ALWAYS in the description of the outing. Simply click the "more" link at the end of the description; there is usually a link to a Google map. Questions? Contact the leader who is listed in the activity description (Note: the leader may not be the same as the host).  Don’t wait until the night or morning before as all leaders are not "connected" 24/7 (and some don't offer a public cell number). No pets or electronic gear (please limit cell phone use to "essential"). If you ride-share, share the cost of gas and any admissions (Note:  nearly all parks require a season pass or an admission fee). **DETAILS** **Leaders** Your organizers and leaders are  volunteers with informal and formal training, experienced in taking people to the places we know and love the best. We each have differing interests and the outings that each of us leads reflect this. Some events are strictly hiking, some stop to smell (and ID) the roses, some look for birds, some focus on natural history. We also do some canoeing, backpacking, biking and cross-country skiing. **Personal Responsibility** Each participant needs to be responsible for his or her own safety by accurately judging whether they are fit for the activity they are interested in. Hikes generally are from 4-6 miles long, lasting from 2-3 hours, usually with a couple of rest/water/trail snack stops. Hikes with birding or botanizing generally are shorter and slower. Longer hikes, 8-10 miles are faster with fewer stops. A reasonable amount of fitness is necessary even for the slowest, shortest hikes. Three miles in the woods even at a slow speed is different - and harder - than a 2-hour walk on sidewalks/streets/bike paths. Hills, roots, rocks, mud and other natural features require a certain amount of stamina and balance. Children are welcome with a responsible adult, if they are able to behave appropriately and complete the activity. **Meeting Places and Costs** The meetup starts at a meeting place (often a shopping center) where people can leave their car if they decide to travel together to the trailhead. After the activity there often is an optional restaurant stop, which gives another opportunity to get to know your companions. If you ride with someone, you are expected to share in the cost of transportation and group admittance fees. Sierra Club also requests a $1 donation per person to help with our committee expenses. (There may be additional fees for outings longer than one day). Please note that the official start of the activity is at the trailhead and not the meeting spot – this is for liability reasons. **Basic Guidelines** (1) arrive on time for the meeting; departure follows after signup and announcements (2) come dressed appropriately: sturdy footwear; water; snack; sunscreen/insect repellant; hat; raingear. Inappropriate clothing or gear may affect others’ enjoyment of the activity and may put you and them in danger. (3) be aware that a 2 hour hike can take considerably longer even without unexpected delays so plan accordingly: driving time, gearing up, pit stops, hiking, pit stops, gearing down, driving home (4) always stay behind the leader and in front of the “sweep” in voice communication range (5) in order not to interfere with others’ enjoyment of our natural environment, electronic/communications gear should be left at home; cell phones should be silenced and their use strictly limited (emergencies, not grocery lists!) (6) if you need a bathroom/water/snack/rest break, let the leader know so all can stop and avoid leaving you behind. Besides, there are probably others who need the break, also. (7) if you are falling behind, call up to the person ahead to get the leader to stop/slow (8) Follow all the usual rules listed by our public parks. **Liability Waiver** All participants must sign a comprehensive liability waiver acknowledging that they are responsible for their own well-being and absolving others of liability. This is necessary because there are inherent risks in outdoor activities in which injuries or damages can occur from: • natural causes • obstacles and hazards • insect or animal bites • toxic plants • medical emergencies without easily obtainable medical care • actions of other persons We are a committee of the local Sierra Club (Southeast Michigan Group [SEMG]) and have been doing outings in metro-Detroit for many years. This meet-up is our latest – and most high-tech – means to share our program with other outdoor-lovers. Our website is [www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan](http://www.sierraclub.org/michigan/southeast-michigan) . Many of us are also involved in conservation and environmental issues with the Club – it will be up to you to decide if your interests also go in that direction. If they do, we would be glad to help you get connected to the right folks. Do you like being outdoors and active? Give us a try. We are outside four seasons of the year with lots of hiking, some canoeing, camping and x-c skiing. Joanne7925, MDOH Organizer
