[SkateDC] Saturday Morning Skate (6/27/09)

[George Marinkovich]

There will be another skate this Saturday starting at 9 AM at the Georgetown end of the Capital Crescent Trail (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2084574). 

We will meet at the beginning of the CC Trail in Georgetown which is on Water Street (aka K Street) essentially underneath the Whitehurst Freeway near where it intersects with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.  We skate to the top of the CC Trail in Bethesda where we get breakfast stuff on Bethesda Avenue and meet up near the water fountain in front of Barnes and Noble at the corner of Bethesda Ave. and Woodmont Ave. From there we return to Georgetown on the CC Trail. 

It's approximately a 14 mile skate and takes roughly 2 to 2 1/2 hours depending on how long it takes to get breakfast in Bethesda.  As this is a trail skate feel free to skate at your own pace. I will probably be skating at a rather slow pace. Don't let that influence you, skate as fast as you wish, we will all meet up in Bethesda.

I plan to park at Fetcher's Boat House (http://www.fletchersboathouse.com/directions.htm) and skate down to Georgetown in time for the 9 AM start. On street parking is available on Water Street but is limited to meters. As parking enforcement is one of the things at which DC government excels, please pay attention to the parking restrictions (especially the spaces which require you to back-in). There is also parking available at a parking garage on Water Street; $7 for all day, I believe.

If you're planning to be there, don't already have my cell pone number and want it, shoot me an e-mail.

Enjoy,
George
