Adventure Tri Clinic
July 17
Learn to Kayak, Mountain Bike and Trail Run with more confidence, while getting a great workout, seeing stunning parts of Long Island and having a good time.
We'll meet at Stillwell Woods Preserve at 9am, leave our bikes and biking gear, and get transported to Cold Spring Harbor where the kayak portion of our tri will take place. After receiving instruction on proper technique, we'll paddle out around a buoy while professional kayak guides paddle alongside offering assistance throughout the 40-minute picturesque course.
Trail running follows on the scenic Nassau Suffolk Greenbelt. With 2,200 feet of elevation change, this rugged 4-mile section is arguably one of the most challenging trails in all of 
Long Island and the surrounding area. During the run, we'll discuss proper shoe selection, running technique, sports nutrition, injury prevention and orienteering as we make our way to Stillwell Woods Preserve where our bikes and gear will be waiting.

If you can ride a bicycle and have been wondering what mountain biking is all about, this is your opportunity to get out on the trails and explore this fun and exciting alternative to riding on the road.

Come join other like-minded singles for a fun day in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, only 2.5 hours from LI. Our day starts with a challenging 3.5 mile hike to New York State's highest fire tower. The 360 degree views from the top of the tower are unsurpassed and with the foliage changing, the scenery should be unforgettable. After a well deserved lunch on the 4,000' summit, we'll hike another 2-miles (downhill) and enter Hunter Mountain's Oktoberfest via the quad chairlift. The German American Festival features multiple live bands, a farmer's market, crafts, vendors, beer and, of course, accordions.
Please be advised that the first 3.5-miles of the hike is over rough terrain with 2,000' of elevation gain. Only those in good physical condition should attempt it. If you would like to come but feel that this hike might be too challenging, you can ride the chair lift up and meet us at the fire tower by way of a gentler, but still demanding, 2-mile trail.
When: Saturday Oktober 3 We'll meet at 7am in the Little Neck Plaza Shopping Center and return by 8 pm
Where: Hunter Mountain
Cost: $89 includes guided hike, chairlift ride down the mountain, entry to Oktoberfest and round trip transportation from Little Neck

Waterfall Canyoneering in the Catskills
October 10
October 10
This full day of adventure will take place in Devil's Kitchen, a spectacular gorge in the Catskill Mountains, 2.5 hours from Long Island. We’ll hike, scramble and rappel alongside ragging streams and five cascading waterfalls, some that are over 100 feet high. After dropping 1,500 feet in under two miles and taking a dip in one of the cool natural pools, we’ll begin our ascent out over class 3 and 4 terrain (just under what requires rock climbing equipment). Due to the exposure in the ravine, you will be tethered on a line at times for extra protection. Our certified canyoneering guides will provide all the technical gear and instruction, so no prior experience is necessary. Participants should be in good physical condition, ready to hike up and down steep slopes and come prepared to have an amazing experience that one might expect to travel halfway around the globe for.
When: Saturday October 10 We'll meet at 6:45am in the Little Neck Plaza Shopping Center and return by 9pm
Where: Platte Clove, NY

Cost: $199 per person includes certified canyon guides, all technical equipment and round trip transportation from Little Neck. If you are pleased with your experience, we recommend thanking your canyon guides by contributing $20 to the gratuity pool.

If you must bring electronics, pack them in zip lock bags. Bring a complete change of clothes (can be cotton) and a towel to leave in the cars for the ride home.
