Five Days To Go…

Leatherman’s Loop News, Volume 28, Issue 2: Five Days til Loop!

Plan to arrive early…  The Loop start time is 9am. Plan to be at the park before 8:20am to get your bibs (and t-shirts if ordered). Even earlier is better and will let you get a look around and some warm up time.

Dogs are welcome at the Park but you must obey the Park’s leash law.  There will be many other dogs around.

If you plan to run with your dog please start at the back to minimize potential problems with the large crowd.  Please keep your dog close when running!

If you are planning to “Help Feed The Leatherman” please bring your food pantry donation to the Loop on April 27th.  Your generous donation will go to the Community Center of Northern Westchester and will directly benefit families in need.
A reminder from the Pound Ridge Reservation park management: On Sunday PLEASE respect the park speed limit of 15 MPH while driving on the NEWLY REPAVED park roads. Take special care driving the roadway into the park and in the parking meadow as there will be many adults, children, and pets walking around.

There will be volunteers directing the parking and guiding cars to park efficiently. Please follow their directions. It is going to be tight parking and we’d like to pack ‘em in!

The forecast currently calls for a mild and cool day on Sunday with chilly temps to start the day… The winter has been a much snowier one than some past years so the trails are moist and squishy. The mud flats are primed to churn into some deep chocolate pudding. Wear your whitest socks! Everything is looking good to go.

Have a safe trip—CAR POOL if you can! Some folks Park & Ride from Katonah train station lot on Woodbridge Road or John Jay High School on Route 121.

Any questions please contact us.

See you on the trails…
