Itinerary:

What is a Half-And-Half? A half- and-half is a hike in which we park in the middle of the route and do an out-and-back one way, then an out-and- back the other way. Attendees can do just the first half if they wish, or they can stay for the whole thing (both halves). The first "half" will be slower paced and easier, and the second "half" will be a little faster and more steady for those who want a little more of a workout. NEITHER HALF WILL BE A TUFF- PUFF OR AT A SPEED DEMON PACE - THE FIRST HALF WILL BE SLOWEST-POKE AND SECOND HALF WILL BE JUST SLOWPOKE.

We will meet at 6:15 and leave on our walk at 6:30 PM sharp.

First Half: Follow the unpaved path west along the perimeter of Mayfair Golf Club for a half hour, then return the same way. This will be at an easy/slow pace.
Second Half: Follow the unpaved path east towards Kinsmen Park for a half hour, then return the same way. This will be at a more steady pace for those who want a little more of a work-out.

In the case of crummy weather on the Tuesday, and better weather on the Thursday, this event will be changed to the Thursday evening of the same week.
