Hi everyone. As excited as I am for this hike in Middlesex Fells on Saturday, I'm not sure if the weather is going to cooperate. Rain is supposed to move in early on Saturday but the timeline isn't clear yet. I will make the call on this hike on Thursday night once we have a clearer idea of the forecast. If this does get cancelled, I hope you can join us at our third Get Fit hike at Wachusett Mountain.
