[SkateDC] This Sunday's (6/21/09) Skates

[George Marinkovich]

The route for the Sunday Intermediate Skate (which leaves from the White House at 9 AM)  is a recycled route from Andrew Baxley.  It's a 14.5 mile route, basically a figure eight that goes first to RFK and then to Adams Morgan.  It's not a particularly hilly route as these things go and I plan on taking it at a fairly leisurely pace.  Bill has graciously offered to sweep the route.  If you're looking for the next gentle step up from a Friday Night Beginner's Skate this is it.  The weather will be bonny:  dry, sunny, with temps in the 70's.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers,
George

Skaters- I will come out at 9:00 AM Sunday. We had fun on Friday in Philadelphia, but as soon as Billy woke up on Saturday morning, he demanded that we check out of the hotel and drive home. 

George- let me know if you would like some help.

120 skaters participated in the 7 PM Friday skate of the Philly Free Skate. I skipped that one and did some sightseeing with Val & Billy instead. Nine of us went out for a Friday Late Skate beginning at about 10:30 PM. It was a fast, wild skate led by Pete. I was very happy that I put some new faster wheels on my skates and that helped me to keep up with the other maniacs. 

Bill

I will be leading the Sunday Intermediate Skate, which leaves from the White House at 9 AM.

There is no scheduled leader for the Sunday Advanced Skate, which leaves from the White House at 11 AM.

This is, of course, the Philly Free Skate weekend and a great number of our skate leaders and skaters are in Philadelphia.  Expect the skates in DC this weekend to be correspondingly smaller.

Happy Skating,
George
