Hi, I'm Brendan Lewis. More than a few years ago I quit smoking and began running in hopes of not gaining weight. At first I could hardly run around the block but with a little determination, I eventually crossed the finish line of my first Marathon. Now I am an avid triathlete with a battery of shorter distance triathlons under my belt and most recently a half Ironman. I hope to complete the full Ironman in 2014. This club was founded in hopes of growing this sport here in Colchester, CT and at …

THERE IS NOTHING more natural than hiking through nature barefoot. The soles of your feet and toes are wonderful sensory organs and the myriad of feelings from earth, grass, moss, pine-needles, and mud are wonderful. Many could not see hiking any other way. HIKING BAREFOOT causes virtually no trail erosion since a bare foot makes much less of an imprint than a booted foot. Bare feet are therefore the environmentally sound choice for hiking. THE BAREFOOT HIKERS are groups of people who enjoy hiki …

This group originated with the belief that people within the same basic age range seem to bond the best.  So, it is oriented towards those of us who can be considered a part of Generation X (or were born somewhere between 1965 and 1979) -- at least at heart. In general, the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming (but can be quite crazy too).  People who come to several events have often become very good friends.  Yet, please do not be mistaken: We are still open to meeting new people and making …
