Details
 | Meet at 7:45 a.m., start walking at
8:00 a.m. |
| Meeting place: Cuesta Park in Mountain View (near El
Camino hospital). We will meet in the parking lot at the corner of
Cuesta Drive & Nilda Avenue, which is close to the tennis
courts. |
| We will bring copies of the map. |
| This is a figure-8 walk, so you can walk the first
6-mile loop and get back to our starting point - and your car - if you
choose to stop there, or have a time constraint. Those who wish to
continue will go on a different 6-mile loop, and return to the
starting point. |
| Bring a bottle of water. We will have a
"real" pit-stop (a la the actual 3-Day!), sponsored by the
Cheerios, so snacks and water will be available mid-walk (fruit, luna
bars, stuff like that). |
| Be prepared for whatever the weather may bring: hat,
sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, a windbreaker or jacket or poncho if
it's raining. |
| Bring identification, including an emergency contact
phone number, your medical insurance card, and something with your
blood type noted on it. |
| NO, we don't cancel if it's raining. |
| YES, there are bathrooms on this
route. |
| REMINDERS: Sorry, but the rules
say we can't allow dogs, strollers or children under age 17. Thanks
for understanding! |
| Jane is our contact point for this
walk, so PLEASE RSVP to her, either by e-mail (jcsbs@earthlink.net)
or call 408-448-2585. It's important that we know how many people will
be attending, so that we can be prepared. Also, if there is a
last-minute change, we would like to be able to contact you.
