This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon.

Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if the hike is at least 4 miles long and an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path is recommended.  Rou …

I decide to start this group because I enjoy walking and love Central Park. The 6 mile loop is challenging and great as part of my exercise routine. It would be great to have a group of women who also enjoy walking to help me push myself to go there and push my time to make it a challenge. This is for women who are interested in walking at a brisk pace for 6 miles, or working up to walking at a brisk pace.

Need a fun way to work off the kugel, while getting in shape, and meeting similar fun people. Want to meet similarly minded Jewish singles. We will have ac …
