[SkateDC] Map & Cue Sheet for Sunday Skate

[Bill English]

Skaters,

I have planned a little eight mile skate including the hills of the Embassy Row area. I had intended to try a long skate to College Park but it may be too cold & windy for that. Accuweather.com says it will be partly sunny, about 39 degrees, with a 25 mph wind out of the northwest. Don't forget your gloves. I prefer thin wool gloves that fit under my wrist guards.

Patricia said she will be coming out Sunday for her very first WAR skate. Please drag yourselves out of your comfy homes to give a warm welcome to Patricia. Patricia organizes the monthly Meetup.com skates around BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. Tom Huff and I skated with her and she had no difficulty staying ahead of us. Patricia also came out to meet some of us at the Howl At The Moon event we had in Baltimore last month.

We will meet Sunday at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, just north of the White House. People will start arriving at about 11:00, and we will roll away at 11:15. We should be finished by 1:00. There is plenty of free parking along Pennsylvania Ave just west of the White House. McPherson Square is the nearest Metro Train station, and Metro Center and the Farragut stations are also very close.

Please let me know if you have a better way of getting through the Embassy area. I am not remembering that neighborhood very clearly today.

Thanks,

Bill
