What we’re about
We are Women Over 50 Outdoors! We welcome new ladies to join us on our local hikes and bike rides. We are a year round outdoor group which will include winter hiking in easy terrain on snowshoes. Our spring/summer/fall hikes are planned for easy nature walks at a easy/casual pace and summit hikes that are classified as easy to easy-moderate at a pace of 1 to 1.5 mph. We also plan to offer cycling on rail trails. All abilities welcome. If you love being outdoors and like the company of other women, we urge you to check us out! We invite you to join us for our several social events throughout the year as well. If you have suggestions for a future event that you would like to see offered reach out to the organizer or leadership team.
We're located in North Central Mass and Southern New Hampshire. Our events will primarily be in North Central Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire (mostly Monadnock region).
Event/membership rules

- Arrive to the event 10 to 15 minutes prior to event start. We will wait for 15 minutes past the scheduled start time. I will make an attempt to reach any member who has not arrived at the planned start time.
- If you sign up for an event and then are unable to attend, please change your RSVP to not going preferably no later than the evening before the event.
