Upcoming Walks

****************************************** Please Note ******************************************

Update on Carpooling:

At the June 9, 2022 CVC general membership meeting, the membership voted to authorize the
resumption of carpooling. Carpooling meeting points and times will remain the same as they
were pre-covid for walks for which carpooling is appropriate (these are generally walks in more
distant locations). As always, you are free to make any personal carpooling arrangements
which seem good to you.

Carpooling disclaimer:

The carpooling information is offered as a service for those who may wish to carpool.
It is not a guarantee that carpooling will occur for any given walk. There can be
many reasons why people may wish to carpool for one walk and not for another. If the
designated departure time has arrived and no carpool has formed, please drive yourself
to the walk start point.
