Schedule

If you're in town before Saturday, we've organized some activities to explore the area and make new connections with each other. If you have limited time or would rather explore on your own, we also have a "Things To Do" page of our favorite spots in Carmel/Monterey.

Thursday Hike

10:00 am - 12:30 pm

Gillian is organizing a light-moderate hike in the area. Once we have a headcount, she'll reach out with further details and to coordinate carpools. Please email gilliansweatherford@gmail.com with any questions.

Thursday Bike Ride

10:30 am - 2:30 pm

Will is arranging a Thursday bike ride. It’ll be around 20 miles and will mostly be on the coast (17 mile drive). The roads are nice and there’s a dedicated bike line for most of the stretch, but it is on the street and cars will be passing by. We’ll plan for a pit stop midway through for a beer or coffee + snack. Electric bikes are available as well, although they’re a bit more expensive. $40 to $60 per person

Thursday Kayak

11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Kim (Will’s mom) is organizing a kayaking trip on Thursday. We’re planning to have it be in Stillwater Cove, which is right off the Pebble Beach golf course. Weather can prevent kayaking in this area though, so sometimes it needs to be moved to a different location last minute. The alternative location is near the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is also very nice. In the case of inclement weather (rain, wind, etc.), there’s a chance it could get canceled altogether. If that happens, we'll know in the morning, and people can shift into the hike or bike ride. $100 to $120 per person.

Casual Get-Together

6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Casual attire

If you're in town on Thursday night, we'll be having a get-together at a local brewery or bar. Drinks and food will be available for purchase. We'll share the confirmed venue closer to the event date.

Friday Afternoon Meet Up

12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Will and Gillian will be hanging out at Carmel Beach by 13th Avenue. We'll have some beach games, but come swing by any time to just hang out and enjoy the water -- this is very casual. Bring any food or beverages that you'd like!

Welcome Party

6:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Cocktail attire

Please plan to enjoy dinner before arriving. Drinks and dessert are on us!
