Meeting Description

Who

Anyone interest in a **BRISK** hike through lovely Bond Park. We'll be going around the lake with both paved and unpaved trails. Only a few stairs, generally flat, roots on the unpaved portion.

Why

Come out to a GREAT park and get some exercise! Enjoy this beautiful park with great people from our group.

Organized by

"Location: From the Maury Odell Pl entrance, follow the road to the stop sign, take a left (Metro Park Drive), then the next left into the parking lot of the Bond Park Community Center (http://tinyurl.com/3www76). I'm on a bike."
--Robert Campbell

Details

New Time and Distance: 6:30PM and we'll be increasing (optional) the distance to include both the Lake and Loop trails (I'm going to scout it out this weekend). Map for Bond Park is now available under the "Files" section of the Meetup -- on the left of the screen you should see "Files". The short way is about 40-45 minutes, with the additional loop, we're just under an hour.

We will go for a BRISK (3.5 mph) 3+ mile circuit hike through Bond Park (Cary's largest park) and around Bond Lake. Enjoy the exercise in a natural and peaceful setting. If thunder within 15 minutes of the hike, or raining more than a sprinkle, hike is canceled.

The hike can take less than an hour (around 40 minutes) plus the additional time for the extra distance of the loop trail. We will leave the parking lot at **6:30 pm** (+/-5 minutes).

Park and meet at the bottom of the Community Center parking lot (entrance is the Maury O'Dell Place entrance off of High House, 601 High House Rd) - Info/Map here has been updated with the exact location. Go to the stop sign on Maury O'Dell and turn left. The Community Center parking lot will be on your left. If full, park at the Senior Center off of Maury O'Dell.

    My son has baseball this night as well - 6PM on field 3 in Bond Park. I'll still be attending our meetup since the games are 2 hours long. I won't require anyone to cheer as we pass the fields :-)
