C'ville Friends - A Social Group

Spartan Trail will be a series of fast pace strenuous hikes for hikers who like the challenge.
Everyone will start on the waitlist and will be vetted based on experience and past hikes with us.
We will be doing this hike starting from Wildcat Parking lot and go counterclockwise to Chimney Rock, to the Rip Rap Trail, then down to the Wildcat Trail.

We have heard from a lot of you that you would like a way to learn and play one another. So let's make our own league. Ridgeview Park has 4 pickleball courts. I have a few extra paddles in case you don't have one.

Don't worry if you don't know the game we are happy to teach you. This should be lots of fun.

This...looks like it's going to be way...too...fun!!! Haven't been to one of these before so let's all go together!

From the event page:
This fun night will be brought to you by the cast of Bent Theatre. Can you uncover the murderer before the professionals? If not, no problem, sit back and take in the situational comedy, enjoy some cider and let the story unravel before your very eyes.

Here's the link to purchase tickets. They're $10. I would suggest not to wait too long, as this is an event that might sell out. They'll be serving cider and snacks.
