Now that we've offered you Buns of Steel at Rocky and Lean Legs at Cowrock it's time for some interval training.

Elachee Nature Trails, Gainesville, GA.

Elachee offers more than twelve miles of hiking trails which will take us through pine forests, up hardwood ridges, down to streams and the wetlands. We'll savor the tranquil beauty of the woods with trails ranging from an easy .5 miles to a more challenging 4.4 round trip hike across the preserve to Chicopee Lake and back. Each journey offers it's unique view of nature with sightings of deer, birds, creeks and one 150' suspension bridge. We can venture out on a few easy trails to warm up and then graduate to moderately difficult trails that offers steep sections. We'll just keep going until we hear a resounding STOP!

For those of you not familiar with our hikes, we like to hike as a group and like to keep our numbers small so everyone can get to know each other. We provide a fun laid back hiking experience. That mountain isn't going anywhere. To us the journey is just as important as the destination.

I remember when I first hiked this area I said to Anissa "How hard could this be? It's in
Gainesville for Goodness Sakes". I was proved wrong. This is a workout. Please bring plenty of water and a snack or two.

After a workout your body needs to be replenished so we'll head out to lunch at a Mexican Restaurant.
