This Thursday's run is at Apex (T=4, P=3). The run will start at
6:15pm sharp. I won't be there this week. Look for Dave, Joe, and
some of the other regulars to answer questions and lead the way. We
will be going in the counter-clockwise, right-hand turn direction,
the opposite of what we did last time. For directions and route info,

This Saturday's Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) run is at Alderfer/3
Sisters (T=3, P=3) at 8:30am sharp. Take the Evergreen Parkway exit,
hwy 74, #252, from I-70, to the main light in Evergreen, just below
the dam. Go south (right if coming from I-70) on hwy 73 towards
Conifer. Make the first right, about 3/4 mile up, on Buffalo Park Rd.
Continue up the hill, past the high school, past the lower Alderfer
lots, to the open meadows at the top. Park in the dirt lot on the
right, just past the yellow house.

The ERC runs are usually about an hour long. Sometimes a few people
will meet early or continue after the run to get in more mileage.
They usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. I don't lead
these runs, so please don't ask me the questions. For more info about
the ERC schedules, go to:

Schedule:
7/19: Genesee, meet by the Charthouse
7/26: O'Fallon Park

Several parents want to run with us but have to watch their kids. In
the past, some of them have arranged a rotating babysitting system
where one will watch the kids while the others run. I have gotten a
few names this year. If you are interested in this, send me your e-
mail. I will pass the addresses on to others who respond and let you
work it out.

Every Sunday, the Incline Club meets to run in the Pikes Peak area.
It's a large group with wide range of abilities. The runs start at
8am sharp in Manitou Springs. The runs typically are 2-3.5 hours.
They have upwards of 100 runners with a wide range of abilities. Let
me know if you are interested in joining/forming a carpool, and what
part of town you will be coming from. For more info on these runs,
including a map and detailed description of this Sunday's route, go
to www.inclineclub.com.

Looking for company on a long weekend run? Want to carpool to a
mountain race, Incline Club run or other outing? Let me know and I'll
send out the word. Please send me specific information about where
and when you want people to meet, or how to contact you. Please try
to send me the information a week in advance so I have time to get it
into my weekly message. Don't wait for me to plan everything!
