THURSDAY RUN
Location: Green Mtn, Rooney Road lot. The main group starts at 6:15pm;
the early group meets at 5:30pm.

Run notes: This will be our first time on a real trail in a long time.
Be prepared for a variety of conditions. Reports are that the trail is
dry and in good conditions. We'll see what happens with the storm on
Wed. If there is significant accumulation, the run will be changed to
Red Rocks. Check for a message on Thursday, or use your judgment.
If/when you encounter mud, please stay on the trail – either run
through or jump over the mud. Do not go off trail! This expands the
trail footprint, leading to increased erosion. PLEASE READ THE
MAP/DESCRIPTION if you aren't familiar with Green Mountain.

If you are new to DTR and unfamiliar with the trails or for more
information about DTR, including FAQs, please go to the link below.
For directions, route descriptions and explanation of ratings, please

This will be at a casual pace, mainly hiking. Dress warm. Afterwards,
you are invited to dinner (my birthday), location to be determined.
