We will be doing a 6 mile APC hike on 11/7 at Salem Lake in Winston-Salem. This will be a 3 mile out and back, not the full 7+ miles around the lake.

Meet up at 815 Salem Lake Road Winston-Salem, NC 27107 at 1:45pm to get ready for a 2pm step off. We will be going out for Mexican after the hike, so plan an sticking around and getting to know each other better!

Standard APC rules apply for the hike.

35lb ruck for beginners / old / broken, 45lb ruck for novices, and 55lb+ ruck for meat eaters, masochists, and berserkers in great shape that still have functioning knees, backs, and shoulders. We need at least three people on the hike so there are two witnesses for each person that's rucked up and meets the pace requirement of 17-20 minutes miles to count toward a third class qualification (again, see below).

If you don't have a ruck, don't sweat it. If you are out of shape and can only go a mile at a slow walk, don't sweat it. If you can only carry 10lbs in your ruck, don't sweat it. If you can only go one mile an hour, don't sweat it. Just come for the hike. Do what you can. Everything starts somewhere. There is time between today and the hike to start moving individually, so make good use of them. Move around for at least 30 minutes in some way at least three times a week as a start.

The primary goal is to get folks together to socialize, have some fun, and see if we can't do something like this on the regular. Not trying to smoke ourselves...yet. That time is coming for those of us who have been doing these.

We go rain or shine unless the rain is an ice cold deluge that puts people at risk of hypothermia. A stray shower we can work through.

Good to see you guys are still doing this.  Im still on days and am working that day but I appreciate the invite.  I def need the exercise.

You have the crappiest work schedule

Maybe we should do an "after work" on a Friday for everyone with nods?

Woot!  In.

In

Perhaps I might have the skedco by then.

That would be cool, after deer season I have access to 123 acres 10mins from my house.

Lots of hills etc.

Same place we will be doing the Jan APC weekend.
