WHAT: A FREE, informal biking-to-hiking-to-socializing training event, designed and hosted by Dan Williams and Rebecca Lundberg.

Biking will be on- and off-road. Hiking will be on trail and some bushwacking - your feet will likely get wet.

WHEN: Saturday, April 10th, 2010 - regardless of weather.

TIME: Mass start at approximately 10:00AM (arrive between 9:30AM and 9:45AM). The bike-hike will last about 3-4 hours, depending on your pace and motivation.

WHERE: Andrews Park, 7100 117th Ave N, Champlin, MN 55316

WHO: Individuals and teams are invited - if you don't have a team, we can hook you up with someone at the event - we typically get 30-40 people at this event, including many new faces.

WHY: This is NOT a race - this is an opportunity to get out early in the spring, check your gear, meet new people and get some exercise. Your speed and duration are up to you. The BBQ is informal and a great social event.
