Monday, November 24 - 7:00pm - Free Film Night – Mile, Mile and a Half
In an epic snow year, a group of artists leave their daily lives behind to hike and record the historic John Muir Trail. From Yosemite to Mt. Whitney: 219 miles in 25 days. Along the way, they are joined by musicians, painters, teachers and other adventure-seekers. In the midst of the grandeur and daily grind, they discover what matters most is the opportunity to seek inspiration and adventure wherever and whenever you can, with those around you. Mile... Mile & A Half is the feature-length documentary of that journey. Join us on Friday night for a free screening of this movie! We’ll have store coupons and popcorn, too. Bring your friends! Expedition Room, Midwest Mountaineering
Tuesday, November 25 - 6:30pm - Exercise Physiology & Nutritional Demand
Unlike any other class on physical activity and nutrition, this class clarifies the science of fuel substrate utilization by illustrating how the body 'selectively burns macronutrients' just as a Toyota Prius utilizes either more or less electricity or gasoline relative to work rate, speed, or intensity level. Using specialized props to illustrate: the laws of thermodynamics, glycogen depletion, and metabolic demand in the human body, exercise physiologist Ed Watson demonstrates how these principles universally apply to athletes, diabetics, sedentary people, and all fitness oriented endeavors. Pre-registration required. Cost $5 per workshop (3-part series Nov. 5th, 12th, and 25th). Expedition Room, Midwest Mountaineering
