[SkateDC] Special Saturday Skate (7/18/09): West Embassy Loop

[George Marinkovich]

Skaters,

I will be leading the West Embassy Loop Skate leaving from the White House on Saturday (7/18/09) at 9 AM.  It is an intermediate skate of 12.6 miles and I estimate will take between 2 and 3 hours to finish.  It involves skating on a few roads I'm not personally familiar with so the pavement and terrain may be less than ideal in those areas.

Washington DC has 174 resident embassies (the most of any city in the world) and it's about time we skated past them, each and every one.  Alas, it's not possible for me to do in a single skate so I've created three routes:  West Embassy Loop, Central Embassy Loop, and East Embassy Loop.  The West Embassy Loop will visit the embassies of 
	54 countries starting with Bosnia and Herzegovina and finishing with Liechtenstein.  A cue sheet will follow shortly.

Cheers,
George
