What we’re about
Greetings! This group is for those with a flexible schedule who plan to be active in all four seasons. Many events will be mid-week. Let’s enjoy the great outdoors together for safety and social purposes while becoming more fit and healthy. We’ll be cycling, kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, etc. All skill levels are welcome. Making new friends is an added bonus:) Most of our rides will take place in Folsom and other local areas on paved bike trails. We’ll get on the water at Lake Natoma and other lakes off Highways 50 and 80. Skiing and snowboarding opportunities will be primarily at Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood.
Those interested in hitting the slopes may want to take advantage of the EPIC pass before the rates go up again on Nov 20. IMPORTANT NOTE: Most snow days will likely take place on MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS unless another member volunteers to host an activity.
When cycling, participants should be comfortable occasionally riding independently if they fall behind the group. Some meetups may start in Folsom SRA where there will be a $10 parking fee. A Golden Poppy Annual Day Pass may be purchased through the Calif Dept of Parks and Recreation. These passes start the clock on the month they are purchased, so buying at the beginning of the month is best.
IMPORTANT: To join, your real first name and a face photo are required so we can recognize you at events. This group is currently limited to 50 members in order to stay within the basic plan. Inactive members will be removed to make room for new members.
DISCLAIMER: This Meetup Group and its organizers do not, in any way, claim to be professionals or otherwise licensed or certified to provide any services. Cycling, kayaking, winter sports and other outdoor activities can be physically demanding and involve hazards that come with recreating outdoors. By participating in any posted event, YOU ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND WELL-BEING. Your personal safety depends on your own judgement and experience.
