A walk, hike and a whole lot more............. We've all been in situations when we wanted to get out, into the outdoors, and do something new, exciting and adventurous.

We all know that feeling and are re-creating this Meetup to connect like-minded adventurous people to get together for adventurous and social outdoor activities. Our members come from all walk …

It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college. Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range. Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us. Sometimes more-so. We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …

The typical ride will be about 1.5-2 hours and about 10 miles. This is a great ride thru beautiful forest but without the technical …
