Upper-body and Core Outdoor Circuit
ACE Fit Share
Manufacturer: Hyper Wear LLC
Price Range: $7.99 - $99.99
The SandBell is soft and effective neoprene bag filled with sand that, according to the manufacturer is a versatile, safe free weight and that can be used as a more challenging substitute for dumbbells, kettlebells and medicine balls. It can also be safely thrown and caught or slammed which allows for new creative uses. It adds a grip strength and stabilization challenge due to the shifting fill material.
SandBells are being used in fitness facilities, strength and conditioning programs and physical education classes and are said to be safe for any floors. The manufacturer also states that they are ideal for the active aging audience due to their safety and their benefit to hand strength. They are gaining popularity for home use by consumers since they do not leak sand, are safe for any floor, and can be neatly stacked.
In our review, we evaluated the 2, 6 and 20 pound sandbells. Overall, our first impression was that they appeared user-friendly, aesthetically appealing and easy to grab given both the neoprene material and soft sand resulting in a nice feel in your hand. Filling and removing sand proved to be relatively easy using the funnel provided (which is an additional purchase), though any funnel will suffice.
The key noticeable differences included the aspect of improving grip strength, which improves shoulder stability, and the ability to drop these products without fear of injury or damage to the floor. The Sandbells can be gripped through the middle of the disc or by the ends (as illustrated on their website). We utilized both grips and enjoyed the natural free motion it allowed at the wrist/distal joint, something limited when using kettlebells, dumbbells or medicine balls. Grip strength is obviously very important within several occupations and this device provided an effective way to train to strengthen one's grip. Unlike a kettlebell with its off-center of mass (requiring both stability and mobility) that creates much discomfort to the back of the forearm, the Sandbell allows the user to maintain a neutral wrist (stability) while moving it as needed (mobility). Their shape also eliminates any concern of rolling or moving, a factor that exists with dumbbell or medicine ball.
Initially hypothesized was that rapid movements would result in shifting sands and greater needs to stabilize, but what we discovered is these movements shifted sands out from our grip, forcing us to have to grip harder which may prove to be contraindicated for individuals with higher blood pressures. Additionally, the heavier Sandbells (20 lb) proved problematic as the weight of the product shifted sand away from our grip, forcing us to have to grip harder, making it harder to use the Sandbell for all intents and purposes. While not tested, we would imagine the 50 lb product would be that much more difficult as a result.

Alabama is a state filled with Southern charm and Sun-kissed beaches. Bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west, it is known as the "Heart of Dixie." Alabama hosts some of the best and least expensive golf courses in the nation. Combined with the pleasant climate and Gulf Coast beaches, Alabama is an excellent place to retire.

I can't seem to get enough gingerbread in my diet this Christmas. I swear, anything that sits still long enough has gotten a spicy holiday makeover. Cheesecake (forthcoming!), Cinnamon Rolls, Cookies, Beignets, and now popovers.
As you are probably aware, I am a huge proponent of popovers, and they really need to become more popular. They should at least be as popular as French Toast and pancakes. They are every bit as easy, and even more delicious. So what's the hold up, America?
Let's promote the popover to the grand trilogy of breakfast items to douse in syrup.
Too late – I declared it so.
And so it is.
Let's commemorate the occasion with Gingerbread Popovers. To make them even more celebratory, feel free to cover them in Biscoff Syrup. Or whipped cream with a little nutmeg and cinnamon thrown in. Or eggnog syrup. You could do that, you know. Or, if the making of the popovers did you in, there's nothing wrong at all with a squirt or two of Aunt Jemima.
Go on with your bad self.
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsps molasses
- 3 tbsps brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch cloves
- pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- Preheat oven to 375F. Divide the butter into the cups of your Pop Over Pan. (If you don't own one, you can use a muffin tin, but you will need to use all 12 cups. Just divide the butter up evenly) Place the pan in the oven for 3-5 minutes while you are making the batter.
- In medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, vanilla, spices, molasses and sugar, then whisk in the flour. Pour the batter into the butter filled cups. Return to oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for another 20 minutes. Drizzle with Biscoff Syrup or your favorite syrup, and whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
If you're looking for a giveaway, you'll just have to hold your horses for a few hours. I'm too busy celebrating the induction of the popovers to their trilogy. But there WILL be one, I promise! So check back this afternoon for more info.
Speaking of trilogies (dig that segue) – have you read The Hunger Games? I can NOT believe I fell into another young adult series. I mean, come ON, I'm in my thirties. I read the Twilight series, like 90% of the world. And then, in a weak moment after seeing the preview to The Hunger Games, I finally bought it. I promptly read it in about 3 hours, and then I was stuck…continue, or let it go?
Amazon won out in under 32 seconds and I had the next two books delivered to the iPad before I could say trackerjacker.
I have to admit I'm looking forward the movie. Which scares me. Because I know it will be full of kids, and I forced myself to imagine older people while reading the books. Like Brad Pitt as Finnick. It kept me from feeling all grody when lusting after him, ya know?
I should stop talking now.
In case you haven't read the series though, I do recommend it. It was an easy read, nicely done, exciting, and finally, a little different. No vampires.
Give it a shot.
And now, so I sound like a grown up, I also really enjoyed A Thousand Splendid Suns.
So there.
See ya back here later!

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear Lists › My PCT 2012 kit list
Apr 19, 2011 at 5:07 am #1272495
Hello Everyone,
I have recently joined this forum as I am currently planning a thru hike of the Pacific Crest trail in 2012 with my wife. As I have been doing my research, I keep coming across the extensive knowledge of this forum, so thought I might as well join and hopefully get some help and ideas with my plan.
After much deliberation, me and my wife (to be. Getting married in 8 days :D ) have decided to go and do the Pacific Crest Trail. We are very excited by the idea, but a little overwhelmed by the amount of planing required. This isn't helped by the fact that we are from the UK, so visas etc are also involved, and ideally the PCT forms just the start of my plan. The second half of the plan involves 2 x 1 year working visas or a permanent residency (which we are in the middle of the process for) visa for Canada.
Anyway, I digress. So far I have been drawing up a detailed list of the equipment we will be requiring, and a rough itinerary of the 4-6 months. I have been doing plenty of research into equipment and feel I am finally starting to nail some of the specifics down. I am however somewhat scared by the final weight of the rucksack! I wouldn't say I'm weak, but I can see the pleasure of the PCT being somewhat diminished if I have to hike in hot temperatures with a very heavy rucksack. Unfortunately I can't do much about the temperature, but hopefully you lot can help me get my pack weight down.
I don't intend to go fully 'ultralight' as my wife will want some home comforts. Even I would like some comfort if I am walking solidly for 6 months! But if I can get my rucksack closer to 15Kg (33lbs) with average food and water, and Sarah's pack near 10Kg (22lbs) with average food and water, I would be much happier.

That is assuming having to carry 8 days worth of food each, and 8 litres of water in Socal/3 litres each everywhere else. I have broken the PCT up into 3 sections; Pre Kennedy Meadows, Sierras and Oregon/Washington. This is for water calculations but also for things like needing crampons/iceaxes and bear cannisters. As for bear canisters I am still considering the option of just using Ursacks/hanging from trees etc, and then use provided bear proof bins on campsites for those areas that require canisters. Any thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated. Some things are yet to be decided, but any comments on what I have so far would be greatly appreciated.

That's a lot of clothes. Skip the boots and sandals. The tread on the PCT enables you to wear trail runners. Ditch the camelback water containers. Just pick up/toss water bottles as you need to increase/decrease your capacity. You won't need the bear canisters and ursacks at the same time. Just keep the spoons,knife and fork for eating are not necessary. Too much TP, you could go without(horrified look on your face) and survive just fine. Stick with a mini Bic lighter and leave the Zippo at home. Are you planning on doing a bounce box? Or do you have someone over here that can mail you things as you need them? I've got to go get ready for work. I'm sure other will chime in. Cheery bye.Apr 19, 2011 at 7:55 am #1726529

@dirk9827Locale: Pacific Northwest
Just a few quick thoughts –
You won't have to carry food for 8 days…The longest stretch is the Sierra, and only then in the event you decide to forgo the stop at Independence via Kearsarge Pass (and honestly, it was a very pretty pass and in my mind anyhow, worth doing). The longest stretches are generally around 7 days, and even then, there aren't that many of those. Most stretches are 4-5 days.
Having 8 liter capacity gives you wiggle room but I would think carrying 8 liters would be extreme. That is 16.6 pounds of water by itself. I think I carried 5L at the most, and it was a fairly hot year.
I hiked in light trail runners the entire trail – something that breathes well is nice for the desert. In the Sierra it may be advantageous to switch to boots, but that is a preference thing. But shoes are largely preference, so whatever you take, it's good to have some experience with it before you leave. For reference, I went through five pairs of Vasque Blurs on the trail.
First aid kit can be pretty light – my feeling is that a few bandages, pain reliever, antibiotic might be enough. If you are so hurt where you need a serious med kit, well, you are not going to be carrying that anyhow. If you are allergic to bee stings, an epipen. You could get a doctor to provide you with an prescription pain pill in case things go terribly awry, at least it will help you hike out.
Cutting down on clothes, as Ken stated, is a must. You should have one pair of pants/trousers, one shirt, maybe a second shirt for town. Rain gear should be very light weight in California, it can rain, but generally not a lot in the months you are going. But always a good idea to have the protection, especially in the mountains. In other sections, it will be dead weight. Insulating jacket is important, but it can be very light. One set of insulating layer.
Have fun out there and best luck in planning. I'd read trail journals. Honestly, on long hikes, people tend to carry heavier packs than on say, a weekend trip. But still you can really cut down your weight with good planning.

Thanks for the replies. With regards to boot and sandles. The 'boots' listed are actually trail runners. I had just left it listed as boots from when I drew up the kit list template. From all the journals I have read it seems like trail runners are the way to go. I love Keen footwear for fit (My Keen current boots are so comfy) but I do somewhat question their build quality, so this choice may chance. Would certainly like to try some Inov8 and Scarpa trail runners on. The sandles I included for 2 reasons; crossing rivers, to keep our main foowear dry. And secondly to wear around camp and let our feet breathe a little. Is this not worth it? How have other people dealt with crossing rivers with regards to footwear, and what do you wear around camp?
I see your point with the water bottles, although I think I would like to take at least 1 camelback so I can drink easily on the go. Does anyone know the weight of empty 2-3 litre pop/water bottles?
The bear canisters and ursacks wouldn't be carried at the same time. They are both just included in the list for completeness. As mentioned, I am hoping to get away with Ursacks for most of the trek, and either rely on bear canisters or bear bins for the small amount of trail that doesn't recognise the ursacks.
Agreed about the cutlery. Will reduce that down to 1 spoon/spork each. Have also reduced the amount of TP. I know it is possible to go without TP altogether, but this is one of the home comforts I think I would like to keep, even if it is severely rationed. Also my bowels are not the happiest of things at the best of times, so it could get messy. Consider the zippo gone and the bic lighter in!
Yeah, we will have to be using a bounce box I think. We don't know anyone over there in the US, and the post from the UK would take far too long and be too expensive. At the very least I want to be bouncing things like iceaxes and crampons forward, but also plan to do the same with maps and guides etc.
Yeah, I know 8 days is a long stretch, but I am calculating my weight on a worst case scenario, so when we do end up carrying only 2-3 days worth of food and 1 litre of water it will be a nice surprise. I am finding the water requirement estimate for socal very hard to judge. A few journals have like yourself suggested that 5 litres each would be ok, whereas one I recently read suggested up to 3 gallons (13.6 litres)!!! may be required! I would like to carry a little more than the bare minimum, but not so much it cripples me. I also tend to sweat a lot, so get very thirsty, so I want to err on the side of caution. Any more comments on this matter would be appreciated.
First aid kit wise, yeah I will be making this up myself as I already do for my daysack. Plenty of painkillers, blister repair kit and tweezers me thinks.
As for clothes, I don't think my list is too different to what you suggested; I have 1 pair of trousers, 1 shirt, lightweight waterproof jacket and trousers and down jacket. Additionally to this I have a lightweight mid layer which I may drop, although I can't help feel this would be nice for walking if it is a little cooler, ie in the mornings/evenings/cooler days. Do you generally get cooler days, or are most fairly warm/sunny? I have also included hat and gloves, I'm assuming this is a a good idea as well?
Thanks for the suggestions so far, please keep them coming :)Apr 19, 2011 at 9:44 am #1726581

I hiked a lot of the PCT with a fellow from the UK (a former fell runner), and he and I are attempting the CDT this year; it's certainly do-able from overseas but of course additional challenges. For the CDT, I've purchased a few things for him that he'll repay me for when he gets here, as some "light" gear can cost a lot more purchased from there (at least light stuff sold in the U.S.).
I suggest that you order Yogi's guide and study that, it answers a lot of preparation questions. You can certainly find various online info about PCT prep other place, such as http://postholer.com/faq.php, but you'll want Yogi's guide (caveat: what you'll really want ultimately is her 2012 edition …).

Ali –
My apologies, I think I found the differences in terminology a bit confusing. Two nations divided by a common language, indeed!
As to your reasons to have sandals, you won't face many serious stream crossing until you reach the Sierra. And then I think it honestly is unrealistic, given the snow you cross in the mountains. Streams, rivers, melting snow all contribute to a very wet section of trail; the trail runners seemingly were either always wet in this section, so going through a river didn't seem like that big of a deal. You cross the most water in the Sierra, and depending on the snow pack and degree of melt off, the rivers you face will range in a wide variety in speed and depth. Some people carry camp shoes (or sandals), but most give up on that idea as they soon resent unnecessary ounces or rather just carry other luxuries.
At the more northern reaches of the trail, you do cross some streams and rivers, but by then you face rain and morning dew that does a good job wetting out any shoes anyhow.
Brian's advice is sound, Yogi's Guide provides a good, solid overview of the trail.
As for water in SoCal, this again depends largely on the weather. Two years ago, the southern reaches were very hot, last year it was much more mild (but a huge snowpack in the Sierra). If the weather is hot or, like me, you are not used to temperatures in 80 to 100+F range (which SoCal can reach), the key (and I ignored this for a time at my own peril) is to get up early and try to get the miles in. Being on the trail by 5:30 a.m. would be fantastic in the hot stretches, that way you have a reasonable shot of making "10 (miles) by 10". If you can knock off around 11 to noon (during a hot year) for four hours, find some shade next to a watering hole, well, you wait out the worst part of the day, and then get back on the trail in the evening. You will use much less water this way. But carrying gallons of water is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy – the weight of that water would slow you to the point you'd need it.
There is a good water report, which you most definitely will want. Trail Angels monitor water sources and a few caches along the trail in Southern California. You can get it here – http://www.4jeffrey.net/pct/
This is updated during prime hiking season. You can stop at libraries in towns and print off updated copies. It is a great resource when you are on the trail.
Best of luck with your trip!

I just realised I never replied to this thread, how rude of me. Many thanks for all the comments and suggestions. They really are appreciated.
@anna; I had actually read those threads a few months ago, but thanks for bringing them back up as re-reading them with a bit more knowledge and context made everything fall into place better. As for the vortex of fear, hopefully I wouldn't suffer from it too much as I am super laid back about most things. My motos in life are; "It will be alright" and "everything happens for a reason" and when I have an idea I tend to be pretty stubborn and single minded. Hopefully this would help me keep on plodding forward.
@brian Yeah, I will definitely be getting Yogi's guide. I found a nice video blog entry on Youtube re the PCT where it suggested getting Yogi's guide, PCT data book etc, and carving them up into nice section sized chunks then sealing them into ziplock bags and posting them forward in the bounce box. I think this is the way I want to do things. Also according to the PCT facebook page, they seem to be publishing a lot of maps and guides etc recently. As for your UK friend, well that sounds promising for us. Do you by any chance know what he is doing regarding the US visa? Is he traveling on a B2 Visitors visa? And if so, how did he fill out the application form with regards to proving he is returning to the UK (evidence of return flights etc?). If you could put me in contact with him it would be greatly appreciated. The whole US/Canadian visa thing is what I am most concerned about at the moment and is the one thing that could be a total show stopper.
@lance. Wow, that is amazingly kind of you to write up a plan like that. Very helpful indeed. I have taken onboard a lot of what you have suggested and am now down to about 15Kg including 8 days of food and water, so exactly where I wanted to be. The Mrs pack is still a little heavy at 11-12Kg (would like to get it under 10Kg ideally), but I still have some room for improvement with her list. I have now started ordering some of the equipment. I am having a custom Caldera Sidewinder made up and shipped over. I have ordered my custom PHD 900 fill down sleeping bags, and down jackets. I have also ordered the sleepings mats. Next big thing to order is the tent, but I still need to settle on which one to go for (The MLD Trailstar is looking like a very likely option now.) I want to get most of the big gear soon so I can test it all out over the summer and autumn.
@dirk. Hehe, yeah our languages may be similar, but they certainly aren't the same. That was evident when I visited Canada last year, and had to often repeat words. Hopefully I can develop a western US accent in the 6 months ;) Thanks for the advice. I have ditched the second pair of shoes and am now wanting to try on a pair of Inov-8 Terroc 330 to see how they fit me.
Thanks again for everyone's advice. :)May 7, 2011 at 8:52 am #1734178

From my experience and perspective, you are worrying too much about getting your feet wet. Trail runners, or the equivalent, with mesh provides you with the ability to wade through water and not worry much about getting wet. I hiked the West Coast Trail in June 2011 wearing my Brooks Cascadia trail runners and they worked great. Even though my runners were wet some mornings when I got up once you put them on and start hiking it didn't matter. They warm up in short order. As Ray Jardine states in his book The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker's Handbook, your feet are waterproof. what I did see were dozens of hikers with the standard leather hiking boots trying to dry them over the fire each night and coated with mud which made them heavy and uncomfortable.
There are several ultralight back packing books around such as Mike Clelland's "Ultralight backpackin' Tips' which provide some perpsective to these sorts of things.
Happy thru-hiking.

As far as feet go, your trail runners will be ideal for the whole trip. Wet feet can be an issue in the Sierras though, but more because they will get cold, not due to blisters. At least that was our experience this year with the group I was in. Crossing creeks and going right back in to snow time after time can really chill your feet in short order. Your feet will never dry out trekking through the slush. 2 of us had sealskins socks and they were invaluable through the Sierra to me. They didn't actually keep my feet dry, but they kept them warm which would have been impossible otherwise. Dry camp socks were a life saver too. Have fun! PCT is a great hikeNov 26, 2011 at 6:38 pm #1805813

My insight into shoes are similar to the above post.
I hiked 2,000 miles of the PCT this year, and through the Sierra your feet will be wet. You get used to it. Also, 2 pair of socks are nice to have, I think at some points I even carried 3 to swap out. I wore breathable trail runners, and on occasion slept with my shoes under my quilt to keep them from freezing.

Does anybody have experience using rocky socks on t sections of the PCT or JMT?Dec 24, 2011 at 11:33 am #1815598
If by "rocky socks" you mean Rocky brand goretex socks, then sure. I used those when I went through in June 2008. The thing about that time of year in there, however, is that your feet are going to be wet no matter what, so don't think in terms of "goretex socks equal dry feet". A VB sock to add warmth might be a fine alternative, or layer light neoprene and wool. And lots of folks do just fine with wool socks alone.
But definitely thick wool socks (assuming quick-drying shoes, not boots in all of this …).
Bottom line is that the goretex socks worked for me and helped some, and certainly there might be times when you can keep your socks dry longer, insofar as you start any given day on trail with dry socks to begin with.
The above talks about June, however. The time of year and specific conditions of the given year makes a big difference (!). My wife and I hope to hike just the JMT part in September, and I won't bring goretex socks for that.Dec 24, 2011 at 11:59 am #1815605

"The whole US/Canadian visa thing is what I am most concerned about at the moment and is the one thing that could be a total show stopper."
I met a few hikers from other countries, namely Australia, New Zealand, and England on the PCT.
The Visa problem they had was; violating their US 6 month visa by exiting and then trying to re-enter the US.
This is also a problem for US citizens that are denied entry to Canada due to a criminal record or even a misdemeanor.
Sometimes Canada just denies people without an explaination.
Here is what some of those people did on their Northbound PCT hikes to stay within the law and still complete the trail.
They hiked from the southern terminus to monument 78, the northern terminus, in Washington which is on the border between Canada and the US.
There is nothing there but a monument in a clear cut and a level campsite .5 mile on into Canada.
So they celebrated there at monument 78 and then they turned around and hiked 30 miles back to Harts Pass. There is a trailhead there and lots of traffic to make a hitch to Bellingham or where ever.
The 30 miles between Harts Pass and monument 78 are drop dead gorgeous. That last little alpine lake, hopkins lake i think, is a stunner and a fantastic place to return to camp at after the monument.
That way they stayed within the US and did not violate their US Visa which could result in a ban on further Visa's to the US.
So even if you can't get the Canadian Visa thing worked out it does not have to be a "show stopper".
I have to add; On my hike I was able to continue into Canada to Manning park.
This was cool but at the same time expensive and really did not add that much to my hike.
In reality i was kinda jealous of my hiker buddies that returned to Harts pass since they were still on trail.
The next time i hike the PCT (maybe this year!) I would seriously consider returning to Harts Pass myself since it would save me a long bus ride in Canada from Manning park to Vancouver, then a plane to Seattle.
Then again, staying at the hiker hostel in Manning provincial park and making a final hitch 15 km (which is like 99.85 miles.. metric) down the highway and back to get beer was pretty cool.Dec 24, 2011 at 12:58 pm #1815618

I went back to Hart's Pass this year just as Matt described due to a last minute change in my my post PCT hiking plans and the fact that my flight was out of Seattle. I timed my exit at Harts for mid-day Sunday and was in Seattle by the early evening, easily hitching three rides into civilization.Dec 24, 2011 at 1:15 pm #1815622

CAVEAT on Harts Pass –
There is a resident trail angel in Winthrop; Teresa Skye (Skyward) and Dave. She posted these abbreviated responses to the PCT_List forum in 2010:
"There are Trail Angels in Winthrop – my partner Dave and I! We live about 5 miles outside of town and can transport you to and from Rainy Pass. The number is 509/996-3217."
"It is probably more difficult to get a ride to Hart's Pass than Rainy Pass. Hart's Pass is a tough, narrow dirt road that won't be accessible by car until early May, while Rainy Pass (off HWY 20) may be open sooner this year-they're assessing the North Cascades pass now to see if it can open earlier this year because of the low snow year."
"There's no public transportation in the whole valley-we're very small. The closest would be catching a bus in Pateros, which is about 45 minutes south of Winthrop. Greyhound runs along US 97 up to US 2 into Seattle along there."

Can we have some clarification please.
Are bike trails, mtb trails for serious mountain bikers? If so, these are not suitable for hiking or for road bikes.
If these are bike dedicated bike paths, will they also be something that are suitable for pedestrians to use?
I think it is very important to clarify if these are something that are going to draw mountain bikers from all over the area, or if they are something that just makes recreational biking and hiking as well as commuting, easier.

I'm glad that this project is finally getting started after 12 years of stalling.
However, I am very disappointed with the convoluted route they picked to cross I-280. The distance along this route is twice as long as it has to be, which will discourage almost all pedestrians from using it.
To answer the previous question, I'm pretty sure the trails east of I-280 are all paved and standard multi-use width (12 foot or so). West of I-280, they will probably all be narrow dirt trails.

These will likely all be paved "MUPs" (muli-use paths) like the Stevens Creek Trail. Most experienced bicyclists hate these MUPs because they can only be used at very slow speed due to the iPodestrians and inattentive side-by-side walkers. Foothill College has a short but interesting path that has a paved bikeway with a crushed gravel ped path next to it to reduce the conflicts. I wish that approach were more common.

The Dumbarton trail is NOT 27 miles long like this article claims. Did the author forget a decimal point or reverse the digits? 0.72 mile is far closer to the truth. This is a very short trail (a couple of blocks) between East Menlo Park and East Palo Alto.

I'll suggest one correction in trail designation.
The existing trail shown in the S-1 designated area(from Junipero Serra west +splitting at Deer Creek rd+"Matadero Trail Hiking Path(MTHP)")
The Deer Creek rd split funnels walkers (+dogs) onto a hard pack dirt trail that heads over to Arastradero rd at Purissima, this trail is labeled"Matadero Trail Hiking Path(MTHP)" on the following link-map.
Web Link
Bicyclists are directed to stay on Deer Creek rd, and eventually end up at the same spot x Purissima rd+Arastradero rd.
My suggestion is that the MTHP be opened to bicyclists, fat tire,skinny tire alike.
This is a beautiful stretch of trail, we pedalers enjoy the scenic route just as much as any other trail user.
Two last thoughts,
I, like many other bicyclists, have 0 interest in mixing w motor vehicles while exercising.
With the ample "hiker only" trails by the dish, the ability to walk unfettered by having to share is readily available close by.
Please re-designate the MTHP as true multi use,
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Doherty reflects on first week back
Coming to the end of the first week of pre-season, and Matt Doherty and the rest of the Wolves squad are certainly feeling the effects of the return to the Compton training ground.
But an intensive return to action ahead of the start of the League One season on August 3 is certainly for the greater good with Doherty targeting Wolves being the fitness team in the division at the end of Kenny Jackett's first pre-season.
The Head Coach has masterminded his usual pre-season regime for the first two weeks of pre-season.
After the initial two days of various tests it has been triple sessions all the way – an early morning run followed by a football session and then gym work in the afternoon.
"The first couple of days was the different fitness tests and then the rest of the week we have been having triple sessions," Doherty confirmed.
"It's a 7.30am start so we're certainly all back working and it is going to be as hard a pre-season as I will have had.
"It is hard – and I think we look forward to it being over – but it is part of pre-season and we will get the benefits for it.
"We could end up being the fittest team in the league as a result.
"We will still have a lot of quality players here for the league and the fitness levels and hard work will help that.
"That will give us the best possible chance of getting promoted."
On a personal note Doherty has appeared for Wolves in the Barclays Premier League, finished last season as the regular right back in the Championship, but also knows a bit about League One after a successful loan spell last season with Bury.
All in all he made 22 appearances in all competitions whilst with the Shakers, scoring three goals.
"Although Bury were struggling last season I enjoyed my time there and felt good in the matches," he explains.
"I was able to get forward and felt there was plenty of space and while it is going to be tough I think we have a good chance of doing well.
"You do get teams playing football and I felt I was able to get forward and make some good runs.
"What we do have to deal with is that teams will be playing their very best game against us.
"They will be giving it everything to try and beat us and cause what will be called an upset and so we have to be geared up against that.
"I am looking forward to the season and hopefully can play a part in something good happening here.
"No one wanted to be relegated but once that is over you want to do as well as you can whatever league you are in.
"We know it is going to be difficult but the ambition is there to go up."
Jackett once tried to sign Doherty while manager at Millwall, certainly a positive for the 21-year-old defender, but he also believes there are many among the younger crop at Molineux who now have the potential to impress the new Head Coach.
"There are quite a few of us who have experience now and even those a bit younger at 19 and 20 have got a chance of playing this season," he says.
"Knowing that the gaffer wants to revamp the squad will make the younger lads think they are that little bit closer.
"It is up to the players then to show what they can do and to start with get on the Scotland trip which will probably show more of what is going to happen.
"There is a good atmosphere among the young lads here but to be honest the atmosphere in the whole squad has been good this week.
"Everyone is getting on well and even the attitude of those players who may be moving on has been good.
"Everyone is working hard, there is no one who is on the edges of it all, and it's all been very refreshing to see.
"The training sessions have been good so far, very lively and sharp.
"The gaffer was encouraging us to keep the ball on the floor and you can see already what he is trying to do and how he is going to work."
Finally one player still not back for pre-season having only just finished international commitments with Scotland is striker Leigh Griffiths.
The 22-year-old has however been back to Compton to meet Jackett and make arrangements for his return and Doherty, who played in the same Hibernian team as Griffiths during a loan spell in 2012, believes he is primed for a positive impact.
"Leigh is a good player who can score a lot of goals in this league," he says.
"He could be just what we need.
"I think he's found a place around here now and will settle in knowing he should be here for the season.
"He's a full Scotland international now, having started in the win against Croatia who I think are the third best team in the world at the moment.
"He has got good ability and has got a great strike on him so can score all sorts of different goals.
"And he is one of those players who if he loses the ball it doesn't really affect him.
"He keeps his confidence and will carry on trying his tricks and that is what helps him keep scoring goals.
"It is clear that a lot of what he does comes off when he is scoring 20-25 goals a season."
Wolves will travel to Austria for their 2017/18 pre-season trainin....

Nick and David, thank you very much for your very good advises. The
idea to weight the sample based on the population sounds great!!!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Afternoon all, quick question on trainging vs race performance. Bit of background to help.... Ive benn running for 15+ yrs, had some decent runs/races when younger but have had a rough time with injury since 2004. From then training is....patchy at best but has just started to pick up once again and has gone well for the last 10 weeks. Current weekly mileage hovers around 50 over 6 sessions a week.
Current annoyance is my training splints(on sessions) and general feel during long runs doesnt match my race performance. To be honest i always feel rough during a race, never feel like i get into my running and often feel very weak from early on. Most bizzare thing at the moment is that about 90 mins into a long run i can knock out 6 mile at 6:00 pace(depending on terrain) at what i feel is like 90% effort(best guess as unconfirmed with HR monitoring), however come cross country of 10k race i'm 30-40 seconds down on those splits and pinging what feels like 100% effort.
Ive tried going into races with/without taper, short/long warm ups, strides/no strides, slow start,fast start but nothing seems to give the....proper outcome. I must admit a 2-3 mile warm up with a few mins at race pace prior to race seems to dull the shock to the body of the manic race starts.
Any ideas? Should i try running 90mins prior to a 10k race? Seems a bit extreme.
Does seem strange. Solution could be to do a pre warm up. I've never had a bad race when doing this.
Sounds odd, but go and do a decent run/WU, finishing at least 60 mins before the race. Go and wrap up to keep the heat in, and wait. 15/20 minutes before the race,go and do another warm up. It will be easy as anything. Only drink water.
Sometimes people load up on so called sports drinks or gels before heading out, but the high sugar content will cause your body to flood your system with insulin in an attempt to bring the level down. Problem is that it overshoots the mark and you end up with less sugar in the blood stream at the very moment you need it.
Its like driving away from the petrol station with the fuel nozzle still in place.
Hi Rob,
You are clearly someone with a good natural degree of competence. However, its no surprise that you've had injury issues if you bash out 6 x 6min miles at the end of your 90 min long run. That is suicide for a 50 mile per week runner! Could you be an individual who has been prone to overtraining in the past?
I think you need a decent weekly training plan for your level of competence. Google is full of them (sub 35 min 10K, sub 80 min half marathon etc). Alternatively I'm currently enjoying The Running Formula by Jack Daniels.
As for pre race warm up.....a couple of easy conversational miles and 4 or 5 strides seem to do it for most people. But I'd put my money on you being too quick a starter. You mention 'manic starts', but a start shouldn't be much faster than race pace. I think you probably bash yourself into oxygen debt chasing the better runners and feel awful trying to hold on.
I'd gauge your level of competence for a certain race with lower distance time trials in practice at expected race pace, and try and run races at even pace by keeping a disciplined eye on the 1/4 miles on a sat watch.
That you even jokingly suggest a 90 min warm up indicates that for all your natural ability you have very little direction with your training or race strategies. A bit of reading and research might be a good call.
As for cross country, I wouldn't worry about your pace per mile. Its often far off what you'd expect on a flat road or track.
Take care
RicF, good point about the pre warm up...warm up. Ive heard people doing this but only ever the elite runners. Its worth a stab, ive tried alot of other methods so it cant do any harm.
Jamie Newton 2, fair point....i wouldnt say i'm over training at the moment but yes have been guilty in the past. Was alot younger then i didnt really know what i was doing, just ran as i felt and aslong as i enjoyed it would go eyeballs out the day after a track session. With regards to a 90min warm up i was 100% joking. Oxygen debt chasing better runners might be something to look into though....with better monitoring of my pace early on it could well be the issue. Another thing for me to try.

Duggan names Charlie Beckham as director of Detroit's neighborhoods
A longtime city insider has been nominated to oversee a key plank of Mayor-elect Mike Duggan's campaign.
Charlie Beckham, who has served under every mayoral administration since Coleman A. Young, has been tapped as group executive for neighborhoods, a job that will also give him control over the Buildings, Safety Engineering & Environmental Department, according to a Tuesday afternoon news release. Beckham, 66, will oversee seven newly created Department of Neighborhoods offices.
"Through our district offices, we plan to immediately begin addressing the blight issue, as well as code enforcement. We expect residents to see visible change very quickly," Duggan said.
Also nominated for key positions were Melissa Smiley, 36, his transition team's research director, as deputy chief of staff, and John Roach, 48, as director of communications, continuing in the same role he had with the campaign and transition team.
Smiley is formerly an assistant director of Data Driven Detroit. She earned a PhD in epidemiologic science and master's degrees in public health and urban planning from the University of Michigan.
Roach worked in public affairs for the Detroit Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff's Office and Department of Public Services.
Early this week, Melvin "Butch" Hollowell, 54, was nominated to be the city's next corporation counsel, replacing Portia Roberson, 44, who was nominated to lead the city's new Civil Rights and Justice Division. Chuck Raimi, 62, was nominated as deputy corporation counsel, and Second Deputy Fire Commissioner Jonathan Jackson, 44, was nominated as interim fire commissioner.
This followed these appointments, announced previously:
- Former state representative and mayoral candidate Lisa Howze as Duggan's chief of staff.
- Former Detroit police chief Ike McKinnon as deputy mayor.
- Former Duggan campaign manager Bryan Barnhill as chief talent officer.
- F. Thomas Lewand, former Michigan Democratic Party chairman and partner of Detroit law firm Bodman LLP, as group executive for jobs and economic growth. He is the father of Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand.

A whimsical, mystical creature that lives on kind words and disappears in the presence of harsh, unkind words. It is a cross between a snicker and a giggle (sniggle) and the "warm, fuzzy" feeling prompted by a cuddle. (fuzzle) Hence: Snigglefuzzle. Copyrighted in 1985 by Othello Bach.
The black and white haired Snigglefuzzle emerged from his pocket, jumped on his shoulder and giggled. When the agent began yelling at the little boy, the Snigglefuzzle became quiet and began to fade and jumped back into the boy's pocket. The mean words were killing the Snigglefuzzle. Afraid his Snigglefuzzle would completely disappear, the little boy ran toward home, all the while singing a happy song. After several verses, the giggling Snigglefuzzle emerged and jumped back on the boy's shoulder for the rest of the journey home.

Our current housemate Hannah will be moving out mid June, so we are looking for another cool person to live with us! Ideally, we are looking for someone aged 20-30 who is a professional or uni student, but will considers others. You'll be living with one guy and gal who are quiet and super friendly and like to keep the place clean and tidy. We are either looking for someone short term (4-6 weeks) or long term who is looking to make the place a home for themselves (6+ months) Down to business: *Rent is $135 a week if your staying long term or $150 for short term. This includes your share of bills like water, electricity and internet. *Bond is $440. *The House is located within walking distance to the LGH, central CBD, supermarkets, cafes and shops. *The room comes with a queen bed ensemble with mattress if needed. *100 Megabit, unlimited NBN WiFi through IINet (The best you can get) *You'll have access to the massive media server with oodles of tv shows and movies (Better than Netflix!) - See picture. *Off street parking space with CCTV. *Air Conditioning/heater, washing machine, fridge, dishwasher, TV and microwave, etc are all provided, so you'll just need to bring your bedroom/bathroom bits & bobs. *House is very low maintenance, with a deck, and plants in the backyard. (no grass) *No pets. *SMOKE & DRUG FREE HOME. *No couples. *Recently fumigated.
THE HOUSE Large, secure 3 bedroom house, set on the hill on quiet French St, Launceston. An easy 3-5min walk into town. The house is open-plan and fully furnished - TV, couches, cooking equipment and utensils, plates and bowls (etc), unlimited WIFI, large kitchen, laundry and backyard garden. Untimed street parking out front of the house. THE ROOM Good sized room with 2 windows, which is located at the front of the house and will comfortably fit a queen or king sized bed with bedside tables. The room has a large wall of built-in robes and cupboard, tallboy, and mirror. The room will be empty, besides a small, movable bookshelf, and the bed and mattress (seen in the photos) are available for $250, otherwise, the bed will be taken out of the space. THE RENT Room = $133.33 per week, paid weekly Unlimited WIFI = $27 per month, paid monthly Utility bills = Split evenly as per quarterly bills Bond = $333, returned when you depart
The property is located nearby the LGH and is about a 10 walk into the Launceston CBD. I'm probably a 2-5 min walk (tops) to taxi ramps/public transport and local cafes. The house is a cute little cottage which would be perfect for a uni student/worker wanting to be central to town and in the hub of things. The house is furnished with an inbuilt fireplace and has a decent sized courtyard (perfect for entertaining...in the warmer months). Important info: I do have a dog, so it's crucial that if you're interested in moving in you MUST like animals (she's indoor/outdoor). The room itself isn't currently fully furnished. But, the rest of the house is and of course you're more than welcome to use all kitchen and cooking utensils. So, basically you'll just need a bed and a wardrobe... PS. There is no washing machine. I feel like you guys need to know that. I normally hand wash or take it to the local laundry-mat. Which, is about a 5 minute drive (if there's traffic, and it's Launceston...so no traffic). Rules: (Lame, I know...but gotta have em') I work full-time, basically 6-days a week and generally have to go to bed fairly early, so I would ask that you keep it down (no parties...sorry...I hate myself for saying this #adultlyf) . The house is fairly small and I like things tidy, so it's important that you clean up after yourself and are willing to do your share of housework. No drugs. I won't tolerate them under any circumstances. No smoking. Rent is weekly, and includes unlimited internet and water. Electricity is crazy expensive and would need to be halved. Also, if you are successful you would need to fill out the appropriate forms with the real estate.
Close to town centre, great down to earth housemates

We really enjoyed our stay in Prag!
When we have booked this flat, Alex and Anastasia had contact us even before our stay. They were so friendly and let us know all the important information. When we arrived in Prag, we got a map with all the important stuff on it and Alex also sent a mail to ask, if everything is okay. The apartment was cosy and clean and just a few steps from Wenceslas Square.
We really recommend this flat! :)
A huge thank you to Alex and Anastasia, you made our stay unforgettable.
location of the office and the apartment is very close to the main station and the inner city and therefore easily to reach by foot. people in the office are friendly, proper english speaking and helpfull. the apartment itself gave a great impression, all clean, well-equipped and working (dish-washer and so on). the perfect base to explore the city and relaxe afterwards.
Everything was in order,but we had only four rusians chanels in TV .We are not Russian :)
The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
Nice appartment, in the center of the city, near to all the nice spots in Prague.
The pickup in the airport, was nice, arrangede by Alex and Anastasia. But the transfer from appartment to airport, was not a sycces, we waited for the transfer and nothing happend, i call the office, and they forgot to arrange the transfer, even i send an e-mail the day before, to confirm the transfer, but no respons.
For familyes with kids, have in mind, there are nightclubs in the same street.
But all in all a nice holliday.
Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!
As we arrvived, Alex gave us many and really good information about Prague and about the apartement neighborhood (where to breakfast, what to visit etc.). So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
We were 10 people and visited Prague for a weekend trip. As we arrived late on Friday, we picked up the keys in a locker which was very comfortable. The flat is really good located and we could reach everything easily by feet. The flat was very clean and modern. All of us liked especially the shower ;)
We had a very nice stay in Prague and all 10 of us were really satisfied wih the flat. I can recommend it for bigger groups as there are 2 bathrooms and enough space for all.
Thank you!
Excellent and spaceous appartment. In city centre, 45 seconds walk from Wencesas Square, reasonably close to the subway station Mustek. Supermarkets and plenty restaurants in walking distance. mini market and nice coffee place, 20m outside the appartment.
I went there with my family of 6. All the kids had a double bed! I would go there again. Also excellent reception by Alex from Ruterra

Inevitably, your child with mild to moderate to high-functioning autism will ask questions about his disorder. He will want to know why he is different from other children at school, in the neighborhood, or on the playground.
