Ritter Farm Park followed by Angry Inch Brewing

We are going to try a new park! :) This is not a big park so we will be doing some of the trails twice to get us to approximately 6ish miles. We'll be going about a 15:30-16:00 minute mile pace. If you are not sure how fast that is, assume fast. Ways to understand the pace is walking 4.0 miles/hour on a treadmill or by using a tracker such as Map My Run, All Trails, Garmin, etc. There are many free apps that track distance & pace. The leaders will use Map My Run by Under Armor. After the hike we will try a new brewery - Angry Inch Brewing located next to the park at 20841 Holyoke Avenue, Lakeville, MN 55044.

Things to know for winter hiking:
1. Dress in layers. It makes it easier to regulate your temperature.
2. Dress for about 10-15 degrees warmer than the temperature with the wind chill. You will get warm hiking.
3. Decent shoes. When snow arrives, you will need grippers for the ice &/or snow. Kahtoola is a great brand. They are a little more expensive, however, they last many seasons. I have seen other brands break on the first use.
4. It gets dark early so a headlamp or flashlight is needed to see the trail.

Please keep your RSVP up to date. We will not wait too long in the cold temps to start the hike. It is not fair to the people that were on time. If you are running late, post a comment on the event so the event leaders know to wait.
By signing up for this event, you agree to take personal responsibility for any falls, or injuries. With the holidays coming up, please don't come if you are ill. No one wants to be sick over Christmas!
