Runyon Canyon Conditioning Workout hike

This is an Intermediate/advanced hike for physical conditioning to prep for harder mountain hikes. There is some steep downhill requiring hiking shoe tread. The uphill is gradual but constant. Pace is Intermediate/advanced. You can do one loop and exit or multiple. I usually do 3. Each takes about 50 minutes. I normally arrive at 8:55am. We will leave at 9 am sharp. MEETING PLACE : I will be right inside the green iron gate near the water fountain just off Mulholland Parking : parking lot near entrance gate. More parking on Mulholland but pay attention to signs. RAIN CANCELS This is a loop I do weekly. Each loop is approximately 2 miles/50 minutes. You can do as few or as many as you want. We'll go down the fire road to East ridge then come up West ridge fire road. I usually do 3 laps. You can exit at the Mulholland gate after any lap.

RoadRunners group ride, L.A. (1st Saturday)

\*\*Mweep Mweep!\*\*━━ or is it Beep Beep? We are a growing community of cyclists who enjoy exploring Southern California on two wheels with friends. Our rides range from leisurely social outings to challenging, high-intensity adventures and we welcome guests on all our rides. The **Black Folk™ RoadRunners Bike Group** meet every 1st Saturday morning for rides of varying difficulty, starting from various locations in and around the Los Angeles area. We also administer and record Century Challenge rides, where cyclists can test themselves on 100-mile routes. Many of our rides take place on roads and trails less traveled and our calendar also contains special rides and events, highlighted by our signature ride, *The Black Tour*, in late February. This fully supported 24-hour event includes options for Double Century, Triple, and Quad rides. Throughout the year, we challenge cyclists with other featured rides, and our social events help us replenish the calories we burn while riding. Guests and Out-of-town cyclists are welcome on every ride.

We are a safe environment for all!

2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232
(424) 543-3820 **PARKING** Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in, turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila
