Aug 19, 9 AM ~ Stone Brewery to Riverbend Roastery Hike

About this event

Important to know * [Anticipated Weather on Hike Day ](https://www.wunderground.com/calendar/us/va/sandston/KRIC/date/2026-8) This is another eazy-peezy 3.2 mile urban hike. Well, there are a couple of hills at the beginning and at the end. It's Richmond, right? So the good news is there is a minimum requirement to be able to ford a stream, or possess the ability to recognize toxic plants, negotiate rocks, roots, fallen trees, damp trail conditions, stairs, steep ascents, vines, low hanging branches, culverts, uncertain footing on hills, reptiles, spider webs, scorpions, birds of prey, or migratory waterfowl. But beware of those unaligned brick sidewalks that have been there since day one! And the branches that project out over the walkways from a garden. We will meet at the Stone Brewing parking lot on **Williamsburg Road** and take a morning hike of approximately 3.2 miles through Gillie Creek Park, to the site of Chimborazo Hospital to St. John's Church, to Libby Hill Park, and back to our starting point at Stone Brewery and a good opportunity to replentish those lost electrolytes. We'll be passing by [Riverbend Roastery](https://www.riverbendroastery.com/menu) at 27th & Broad so pack that plastic in case you want to make a purchase! If you are unfamiliar with the meet up location, add a few minutes to your travel schedule so you won't get left behind. You may encounter road construction at the intersection of E. Main St & Williamsburg Rd. **Best to avoid this.** * If you don't have a clue about the location of the Stone Brewery parking lot on *Williamsburg Road*, click on the arrow at "How to Find Us" in the event description.

Before the hike be sure to place anything that might invite theft in your trunk before you leave your car parked while you are hiking. Participants…
