[SkateDC] Formal Forty on the Fourth of July

[George Marinkovich]

WAR Skaters,

The Formal 40, a skating traditon, will once again be held on July, 4th (7/4/09).  We will be skating west on the W&OD  (toward Purcellville) from the Red Caboose in Vienna, VA.

We will be meeting at 8:15 AM and skating at 8:30 AM.  

Skate as much or as little as you like, the nominal (or formal, if you prefer) distance is 20 miles out and 20 back, but people will do whatever they feel comfortable with.  As in previous years we will be joined by our Rollerquest friends from Maryland and our Skaters Quest friends from Virginia.  This skate is always a lot of fun, hope to see you there.

As always, all wheeled, self-propelled conveyences are welcome.

There are no definite plans for food and drink after the skate, but I for one, am fairly certain that I will be both hungry and thirsty.  I guess we will play it by ear again this year.  I'm up-to-date on all my shots, so I guess we could even go to Vienna Inn if we can't come up with anything better (but that shouldn't be too hard ;-)

Happy 233rd birthday, USA!


Enjoy,
George
