Saturday Morning Grex Walks and Lunches
| 
Mar 1 04:33 UTC 2006 |
If you are near Ann Arbor, join us for a Grex Walk!
Every Saturday morning, around 10:30-ish am, a bunch of Grexers gather
for a 75-90 minute walk, followed by lunch at a local eatery.
Newcomers are most eagerly welcome; this is an opportunity to meet
and socialize with other Grex folks and get some exercise in the
bargain. Not all the walkers are Grex users: we have regular
attendance from friends, children and pets, and sometimes complete
strangers join us from our Event listing in the Observer.
The walks and lunches have gone on for over 15 years.
Feel free to come to the walk but not lunch, or the lunch but not
to the walk. The gathering for the lunch is generally at noon.
We pick a different place for lunch each week.
The person who picks the lunch sites is a petty despot who takes
suggestions on where we go, but who tends to stack the deck
in favor of popular locations.
The upcoming lunch schedule can be seen with the !lunch command,
or on the web at
http://www.cyberspace.org/~krj/lunch.txt
On most Saturdays -- all except FIRST SATURDAYS -- the walk
starts in Gallup Park, and we gather by the parking lot near the
entrance on Fuller Road. Directions for how to find us are in
response #1 ( resp:1 ) of this item.
On the FIRST SATURDAY of each month, the walk is held at
Bird Hills Park.
Those dates will be: Saturday, March 4
Directions for how to find us in Bird Hills Park are in
response #2 ( resp:2 ) of this item.

Grexers meet in the parking lot near where the "*" is.
Please NOTE: we meet by the FIRST parking lot, before the bridge over
the river. If you need to drive over the bridge to find a parking
space, you'll have to backtrack to meet us.
