[SkateDC] Scouting Skate for SkateDC Weekend - Sunday 4/19

[Carl Ford]

Hello all,

I will be rehearsing the SkateDC "Wilson Bridge" Skate on Sunday 4/19,
leaving the White House at regular skate time.  Unfortunately, the
Bridge is not open to skaters or any other non-car traffic yet, but
there is a ferry across the river.

My plan is to skate to National Harbor, where I'll get a quick bite
and catch the ferry that leaves at 1:55 pm and arrives in Old Town
just after 2:00.  Once in Old Town, I'll skate back to DC via the Mt
Vernon trail.  I am planning to skate at a leisurely pace to reflect
the pace of a large group of skaters.  If you would like to join me,
feel free to do so.  I imagine that I'll return to DC between 3 and
3:30.

This does not replace the regular skate, but I offer it as an option  
should anyone want to join me.

I must point out:
-you must carry shoes/sandals for this skate.  I'm sure that the ferry  
requires it, and there may be a couple of additional places where the  
pavement is bad.
-The ferry costs $8.
