We will start on E Mercer Street and ascend and descend each street north of that, finishing on E Helen Steet and returning straight back on 28th Ave East. Bring a pack weight of your choosing, something that will challenge you, but allow you to keep pace with the group. We'll keep a moderate/2.5 mph pace and adjust as needed. Please use water in jugs, bladders, bottles, etc. as your pack weight in the event you need to dump to lighten the load.
This conditioner will happen rain or shine, so bring your rain gear.
