Description
Now that the colder temperature is upon us, let's not freeze ourselves. Join me and others for a cardio conditioning (study shows that short distance on a fast pace is physically more beneficial vs long distance on a slow pace) and the trails of Hockley Valley, widely known as the hilliest section of the Bruce Trail is an ideal place to surely warm-up our body and spirit. Things to bring on a day hike, sun protection, rain/snow jacket, snacks, lunch, beverages, first aid kit, personal medication (if any) and health card. We'll be on a brisk to fast pace with occasional stop for photos while maintaining the pace. Layered clothing, durable hiking shoe and hiking poles (if using) is highly recommended. Don't forget to bring your happy faces and enthusiasm Please arrive fifteen minutes early for car shuttling.
Let's go hike !!
