Itinerary:

Please join me for this approximately five mile counter-clockwise urban hike around Berkeley Lake that includes the nature trail loop.  Our starting and finish point with be the Berkeley Lake City Hall parking lot.  This hike is challenging with frequent hills and a targetted 3 mph hiking speed.  The range of speed can be between 2.7 mph to 3.3 mph depending on the group experience.  Breaks will be taken to allow everyone to regroup.  There are not a lot of pure flat stretches.  The hike will take place on streets and sidewalks.  Since there are cars, please wear light colored or reflective clothing.  Fortunately, the traffic is usually infrequent with friendly drivers
