| Fri, 4 7 PM | Friday Night Beginner Skate | led by: George Marinkovich <skatewash@yahoo.com> |
| Welcome Washington Post Weekend Section readers! We especially welcome new skaters to come skate with us! The Friday Night Beginner Skate is the perfect introduction to our skates. The weather should be nice and warm so bring water to stay hydrated. Join us tonight (6/5/10) at the White House (on the closed-off-to-traffic portion of Pennsylvania Ave between the front entrance of the White House and Lafayette Park). We begin the 9-mile skate at 7 PM, visiting The Capitol, Washington Monument, WW II Memorial, Korean Memorial, and Lincoln Memorial. It's a fun social skate geared to beginning skaters. We will have a sweep (someone who skates at the rear of the group) to ensure that we don't lose any skaters. We do skate on the streets so you need to be aware of traffic at all times, even though traffic is fairly light during the time we skate. We highly recommend wearing all the safety equipment (helmet, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads) and you must know how to control your speed and stop. Bring sandals or flip-flops if you would like to join us at Froggy Bottom Pub after the skate. Bicycles and other wheeled vehicles are welcome. Friday Night Beginner's Skate Route (leaves White House at 7 PM returns at around 9 PM) When we reach the intersection of Ohio Dr. and Buckeye Dr. in East Potomac Park, some skaters will wait there while other skaters do an extra 3 mile loop around Hains Point. Route with Hains Point (12 miles) Route without Hains Point (9 miles) The White House E on Pennsylvania Ave R 15th St RGP E St E on E St SE on Pennsylvania Ave R 1st St Longer RGP Grant Statue in front of Capitol S on 1st St R Maryland Ave Through American Indian Museum grounds RGP on Jefferson Dr at 4th St W on Jefferson Dr RGP 14th St W on Jefferson Dr Longer RGP Washington Monument Exit NW out of Washington Monument X 17th St RGP World War II Memorial Counter-clockwise around WWII Memorial X over Reflecting Pool Clockwise around Restrooms W on smooth path towards Korean War Memorial (if you're on a rough surface, you're on the wrong path) RGP near Korean War Memorial L (SW on) path towards Daniel French Dr L Daniel French Dr X Independence Ave R (W on) Independence Ave sidewalk L Ohio Dr RGP crosswalk on Ohio Dr X Ohio Dr L (SE on) Rock Creek Trail SE on Ohio Dr at Humpback Bridge Longest RGP Buckeye Dr (wait for those skating Hains Point) Optional 3 mile Hains Point Loop: L (N on) Buckeye Dr R on Ohio Dr Longer RGP Buckeye Dr Backtrack W on Ohio Dr toward Lincoln Memorial RGP Independence Ave X Independence Ave. Longer RGP Lincoln Memorial N from Lincoln Memorial R Henry Bacon Dr R Constitution Dr pathway RGP 21st St X Constitution Ave N on 21st St RGP Virginia Ave L Virginia Ave R 22nd St R Pennsylvania Ave Longer RGP Froggy Bottom Pub Froggy Bottom Pub 2142 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20037-3201 (202) 338-3000 R (SE on) Pennsylvania Ave The White House | ||

| Sat, 5 11 AM | Skate Across Maryland (twice!) | led by: George Marinkovich <skatewash@yahoo.com> |
| Announcing the Skate Across Maryland (SAM). We start in Hancock, Maryland, skate over to West Virginia, skate back into Maryland, up into Pennsylvania, and then back into Maryland. When we finish we will have traversed the State of Maryland twice, while visiting another state (West Virginia) and a commonwealth (Pennsylvania). It's a long way to Hancock, MD, to just skate across Maryland twice, so for those looking for additional skating (or perhaps instead of the SAM) my recommendation is to skate the scenic western half of the WMRT. SAM Route Map Contact me about carpooling. | ||

It's going to be hot and humid so please stay hydrated. There's a planned water stop at Argyle Convenience Store two-thirds of the way into the skate. The skate can be shortened if the heat is killing us. Route Map There may be a special refreshment stop at the halfway point of the skate ;-) | ||
