1/22/11 Beltline Walk
Hello Urban Hikers!!! Happy new year! It's (mostly) ice-free and time to
go on the first Beltline Hike of 2011. There is also an event for the
hike on facebook (see Angel), but I'll repost it here:
Time: Saturday, January 22 · 10:00am - 2:00pm
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start Location: MARTA-Lindbergh Center Station, Atlanta, GA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fearless leader: Angel Luis Poventud
(Eli may also be present...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Info:
It's 2011 and time to walk the BeltLine.
A couple of different forces are coming together to pull off an amazing
month of walking. The Georgia Tech department of Architecture is making
the BeltLine the project for this years incoming freshman class and they
(and we) are going to walk the full BeltLine over the next 4 weeks.
To make it easy for everyone, the walks are starting at 10AM on Saturday
morning this week, 1/22/11, and ...will all be from Marta to Marta meaning
you won't have to stage your car or walk back to your car. The walks will
be 6 to 7 miles long and will take about 3 1/2 hours.
This Saturday we will be meeting at the Lindbergh Marta station at 10AM
and we'll head south down Piedmont beginning the BeltLine portion of the
walk where Peachtree Creek/Norfolk Southern/CSX and Marta all come
togeher. See the map.
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/North-East-BeltLine-walk-from-Lindbergh-Marta-Station-to-Inman-P
From there we'll walk south in the BeltLine Corridor all the way to Dekalb
Ave passing along the brand new Piedmont Park expansion, the construction
of the Historic 4th Ward Park, the construction of the Foundation Skate
Park, ending the walk at the Inman Park Marta station.
There will be 2 bathroom stops along the way, one in Piedmont Park and the
other at Parish. The forecast for Saturday is 47 and partly sunny so bring
a sweater and some good walking shoes you don't mind getting some mud on.
Have a great day and see you on the BeltLine.
-email me back for any more info or details... all hikes are FREE as
always and family friendly. Dogs are welcome too!!

I'm passing this along at the request of the coordinator of this event:
This Ultimate Hike event on May 14, 2011 to the Atlanta area. The event will be a one day, 27.5 mile trek on the Appalachian trail, starting in TN and ending near Banner Elk, NC.

Those who participate will receive coaching and training that includes group hikes around the Atlanta area to help them train for this extreme endeavor.
I wanted to reach out and see if this is something you would be interested in sharing with your UrbanHikers?. We need all the help we can get in getting the word out about this ultimate challenge that benefits children’s cancer research. Whether it is through a FB post or an email to all members.
We are holding information meetings Jan 26-Feb 3 at local stores throughout the Atlanta where those interested can ask questions, meet coaches & staff, get all the details and register for the hike.

Hidden Forests hike July 10th
Hello Urban Hiking family- long time, no see!
I know the heat is quickly returning, but we are going to attempt our
first summer urban hike this Saturday at 10am, so put a reminder in your
iPhone/Blackberry/calendar!
This one will be a tour of hidden forests in Atlanta. We'll meet at the North side of the Candler Park Marta station at 10AM this Saturday, July 10th.
Bring water and a snack if you like. Plan on hot and humid as we will be
back in that typical summer routine by this weekend.
Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
Should you need to contact me call my cell at 404-403-0822.
Best,
Eli

May 1st Ponce de Leon History Hike
Hi UrbanHikers!
It's been awhile since we did a hike other than Beltline or forest hikes,
so on May 1st we're going to walk from west to east down the Ponce de Leon
corridor and learn all about the history of this part of Atlanta from our
group leader Tom Zarrilli.
Details:
Where? Meet at the MARTA Station entrance @ Ponce and W. Peachtree.
(Across from the FOX, AT& T bldg)
When? 10AM start, finish around lunch time
Who? ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited. This is FREE as always.
Distance? 2.5 miles +/-
Stops? countless historical points and a stop at Krispy Kreme for coffee
and doughnuts and Whole Foods for restrooms
Other info? This is a 1-way hike, so either plan to stage a car with
friends at the Plaza on the east end (Ponce and Highland area) or take the
#2 Marta bus back to where we started.
We did this last year and got RAVE reviews. Don't miss out this time!!
RSVP to me if you're interested so we have an idea of how many to expect.
Thanks and see you in May!
