SPECIAL SATURDAY SKATE:
Saturday (6/6/09) Wilson Bridge Trail Opening Skate, leaves 11 am from the White House, led by Carl Ford.

The holy grail of bike trails in the Washington DC area opens on  
June 6 at 1 pm.  I propose to leave the White House at 11 am, skate  
thru Old Town, and be on the Virginia side when the path opens.  We'll  
skate across the river to National Harbor on the Maryland side, and  
come back to the White House the way we came. I hope to be back at the  
White House by a little after 3.

   If you would like to meet us at the bridge, we will be at South  
Washington St and Green Street a little before 1 pm.

   WABA is having bicycle convoys meet at the bridge for the opening,  
so there should be quite a fuss when the path opens.  Let's have a  
good turnout and have our own skate convoy!

WAR skates are held if no precipitation is occurring and the road surface is dry or drying.  However, the final decision as to whether a skate will be held rests solely on the best judgment of the skate leader.
