This my husband and my second day trying the  East Bay Regional Park District Trails Challenge.   Today we tried the Cull Canyon Trail: Cull Canyon Regional Recreation Area Chabot to Garin Regional Trail/Cull Canyon Road/Heyer Road/Service Road/ Lake View Trail/Columbia Drive Length: 2.25-mile loop Elevation: 350 feet Location: Castro Valley GPS: 37.710479, -122.055430  We picked this trail because we could bring the dog with us, and it is described as shaded trails, shallow creek crossings, ridge-top breezes.  Sounds good.  We have a family Welsh Corgi who does not like the heat.  He is always enthusiastic about a walk, but if the weather is too hot, he stops at every piece of shade possible.   In addition to the trail, the park has a beautiful swimming spot and tables for picnickers.  Today was Memorial Day, it was filled with visitors.  This is the beginning of the trail.  So far so good.  The shady path is right up Rocco's alley.

We got around to the Trails Challenge 2018 today.  The Trails Challenge is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year.  Over 10,000 people participate to explore the Bay Area's regional parks and to stay fit outdoors.  The program is free and works in   partnership between the East Bay Regional Park District,  Kaiser Permanente , and the  Regional Parks Foundation . No registration is required, a free t-shirt and guidebook is available at participating visitor's centers if supplies are still available.  However, the guidebook is online and completely down loadable.  The Guidebook includes detailed trail descriptions for hikes in 20 Regional Parks or Trails. Hikes range from easy to challenging. There are trails open to hikers, bicyclists, dogs, and equestrians, and many are wheelchair accessible. To complete the challenge, hike five of the trails – or 26.2 miles of trails. They also have a trails app that is down loadable on your smart phone. Upon co

On May 20th, 2018, I completed the third race for the Tour de Fit.  The cause was for the Serotonin Surge charities located at Natomas Oaks Park.  The Serotonin Surge Charities promotes health, wellness and benevolence of the Sacramento region.  The run benefits clinics that are medically under-insured and uninsured.   Definition of Serotonin- The "feel good" brain chemical. I participated in the walk race.  I don't really have a goal except that it's motivation to get out and see beautiful country here in the Bay Area.  This third medal is one of four medals for the Tour de Fit which once complete all connects together. The next race is the Davis Moon Light Race July 7.  To sign up visit: http://changeofpace.com/tour-de-fit/ Upon finishing the race some of the Sponsors are as follows: Well Space Health 2425 Alhambra Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95817 926-550-5443 Hours 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days a week Immediate Care program for same day care, evaluation
