[SkateDC] Reminder: Indian Head Rail Trail Skate on Saturday (4/3/10)

[George Marinkovich]

The Indian Head Rail Trail Skate is Saturday (4/3/10) at 11 AM.

Remember to bring your own water as it's not available on the trail.

The weather while we skate on Saturday is forecast to be 63 to 74, partly sunny.  In short, a beautiful day.

If needed you can reach me at: 

three.zero.one - three.six.seven - 
eight.three.seven.four

(or you can also reach me in Latin at:  iii.nullus.i - iii.vi.vii - viii.iii.vii.iv, but please if you use this number, speak. very. slowly.)

The skate 
leaves 11 AM from the White
 Plains end of the Indian Head Rail Trail.  This is the 
easternmost end of the 
trail.

We
 will start skating at 11 AM.  Skate up to 28 miles.  The trail is 
mile-marked so you can turn around whenever you want to and therefore 
choose to skate a lesser distance.  The skate will take around 3 hours 
to
 complete.
