THURSDAY RUN
Location: South Table Mountain. Meet at the NREL lot.

Time: The main group starts at 6:15 pm. The early group starts at 5:30pm.

Dinner/potluck: Mary has invited us over to her house for dinner after
the run. Directions will be given out on Thursday night. Please bring
a salad, side dish, dessert, or drink. Mary will provide the main
course. DTR will provide the plates, utensils, napkins, cups, etc.

Run notes: Most of the NW part of the top is private property. Please
respect that and stay off of private land. I am working on a new map.
In the meantime, stay off the trails marked by purple and green lines.
This will help ensure access to the rest of mesa.

If you are new to DTR, or unfamiliar with the trails, directions or
ratings, please follow the link below to maps, route descriptions,
driving directions, FAQs, and other information.

SUNDAY GOLDEN
Golden weekend runs are Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Meet outside Brooks
Field, CSM Stadium, on 12th Street in Golden, and run on one of six or
more different routes in the Golden area. All of the courses allow for
varying lengths (e.g. 6-14+ miles) and paces, depending on the
interests of the runners on that day. For further information contact
Ron Benioff at rnbenioff@... 303-279-6152.


In Boulder, the BoulderTrailRunners has several free weekly group
runs. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoulderTrailRunners

In Manitou Springs, the Incline Club has started their new season.
They meet every Sunday for runs in the Pikes Peak area. They'll stay
on lower trails through the winter, then move up the mountain as the
snow clears. Let us know if you are interested in car pooling from the
Denver area. http://www.inclineclub.com


Interested in another weekday or weekend group run? Pick a time and
place, and we'll post it to the group.

++++++++++
SNOWSHOE
Are you interested in s group snowshoe outing on Saturday? If so, send
a message to DenverTrailRunners@... (please don't reply). If
there is interest, I will lead a group on some hiking and possibly
light running. We will go to the nearest place with enough snow,
probably above Evergreen. If I get a good response, I will post
details later in the week.

++++++++++
FULL MOON
Join us for out monthly Full Moon run this Monday, Dec 4. This will be
a social run. That means that we will wait for people at key
intersections, and it will be a slow pace for faster runners, not a
hard workout.

The time and location will be announced later.

++++++++++
CARPOOLS
Looking to carpool to a race? Let us know and we'll post it to the group.

++++++++++
CLINICS and OTHER EVENTS
12/7, Boulder Running Company Holiday Party with food, give-aways, and
special prices. We'll go there after the run.
