Join us for our **recurring** scenic **3.8-mile (6.1 km)** morning waterfront hike right in the heart of downtown Austin! We’ll take a relaxed pace through one of the city’s most beautiful trails. The hike should take about **1.5 hours**, and with an optional brunch after, plan for the full event to last around **2 hours**. **ℹ️ Additional info** The purpose of this specific event is to have a recurring way for us to meet relatively easily. I want to make sure that recurring events are a "low effort" commitment, ie you don't have to drive 2 hours to get there. In the future once we have more organizers I plan to have more recurring events scheduled so we can cover a larger area. Also, you may have noticed that **this event has an RSVP limit**. This is done for multiple reasons. Not only to ensure that a large group is not disruptive to the rest of the Austin community on the trail, but also to allow us to prioritize the "meetup" experience for every attendee, as having +60 people may be overwhelming, and ultimately the goal of this group is to build a community, not just a collection of individuals that like a specific trail. **📍 Where to Meet** Longhorn Shores, 60 S Pleasant Valley Rd, Austin, TX 78741 (At the Wishbone Bridge) Google Maps **exact meeting spot link**: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4H3eu1yzYziGwgRy9 Route on **AllTrails**: [In the process of updating] **🅿️ Parking** Parking is available directly across the street. Easiest option: https://maps.app.goo.gl/C2TSJ4SrUKf39Yo68. Use the tunnel underpass to reach the Wishbone Bridge without crossing traffic. **🥐 After the hike (Fully optional)** We'll settle on a nearby coffee shop or restaurant for a post-hike social (and food). Although socializing is encouraged during the hike itself, having a dedicated portion afterwards may be appreciated! **ℹ️ Recommendations** * Bring good shoes (Although the terrain isn't challenging and relatively flat) * Pack some water (More than you need, just in case) * Bring a friend! (That's my attempt at a shameless self-promo for the group. Although even if you don't, I am confident that you'll get along great with the people you'll meet at the event!) **👍 Good to know** * 🐶 Dog-friendly * 👨👩👧 Family-friendly * ♿ Wheelchair accessible **Event Etiquette (Important!)** * If you RSVP'd, but are unable to make it, please update your attendance as soon as possible. The attendance limit prevents new people from joining if we're at capacity otherwise. If we notice a pattern of you RSVPing to events and not showing up, you will be kicked from this group. * Please show up on time. We will start right at the indicated event time. This is to respect everyones time. If you're a few minutes late, it should not be an issue as the "intro" to the event may take 15 minutes or so, but we will not delay the start until you get there. * Other than that, I know all of you will help me make this group great for everyone. So thanks in advance for that!
