Hiking Feet, Trail Feet
**About** This is a group created for people who love to hit the trails on weekends. If you are looking to enjoy the outdoors, practice your hobbies and socialize with like-minded group, you are most welcome to join us! We seriously want to enjoy those trails!! We are a fun group of all ages and abilities, and we just want to keep fit and have fun out there. **Activities** Depending on the season, we schedule short hikes, long hikes, easy hikes, and moderately challenging hikes. Hikes will be mostly around 5-10 miles in and around North, West, and South suburbs. We occasionally schedule day hikes located in Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin, including weekend camping, and road trips. We strive to accurately describe the hike and trail condition, but certain things are beyond our control, such as sudden weather changes, downed trees, ponding, mud, bugs, ticks, or any inconveniences real or imagined. These activities are free, and voluntary and it is expected that attendees will have checked the weather before leaving, be on time, come prepared, and be responsible for their own safety. **Attendance** The events organized are limited to a small group of people and sometimes, events have a waitlist. We therefore expect a bit of courtesy for people to sign up only if they can attend and to manage their RSVP at least two days before the scheduled event. **Weather** Weather is always a major factor to consider in organizing events. We do scheduled hikes in all Seasons but limit the mileage in the Summer to 5miles or less when temperature is too uncomfortable, or schedule it later in the afternoon when the sun is not too harsh. Hikes may also be canceled due to rain but not if it is only a drizzle. **On the trail** It has been our experience that some people walk faster than the rest of the group. That is not a problem, just please let the event host know you are going ahead and not stopping to check a tree, look at animals or take photos. Maybe we'll see you in the parking lot afterwards.

Northern Illinois Dirt Riders

Marengo, IL

Northern Illinois Dirt Riders

I started this group because it can be hard to find people to go ride with.  This is a group is for people of all ages who love to ride off road motorcycle riding, motocross, flat track, enduro, Hare scambles, ETC. It could be a few people meeting at the track, a few people meeting at the trail head, or finding someone to watch a race with, whatever. Maybe you're a parent and you want to find other parents to meet up with when you take your kids to the track? All members can post rides, or races, ECT for other members to join in on it with you.
