Senior Striders
Senior Striders meet every Thursday morning (about 9:00), regardless of the weather, to do hour-long hikes on Whidbey Island, usually somewhere between Clinton and Coupeville. Occasionally, the Striders will do “discovery” hikes at places like Deception Pass, Anacortes, Port Townsend, or the mainland.
Typically, the Striders form two groups before starting a hike. One group comprises those who prefer to hike very leisurely, and the other is for hard-chargers. The one rule the Striders have is no dogs are allowed on the hike.
If you want to join the Senior Striders, call ISR Bayview at 360-321-1600. Your contact information will be passed on to the hike coordinator, who sends weekly emails about the upcoming hike.
