I'm a brand new member and I'm trying to gauge the difficulty of the planned hikes.  I see that there are descriptive terms such as "strenuous" and there are also mileages listed - but no times.  How does that work?  If members car pool, do the faster ones just sit and wait for the others to arrive?  How do I pick the right hike to avoid people waiting a long time (others waiting on me or me waiting on others)?  What's the average hiking rate?

thanks - just the info I needed
