[SkateDC] Wednesday Night (7/7/10) Advanced Skate Report

[George Marinkovich]

Wednesday Night (7/7/10) Advanced Skate led by Jeffrey Dzieweczynski.

Starting temperature:  97 (felt like 100)

Skaters:  Jeffrey, Heller Anne, Sarah (her first WAR skate!  Sarah, given the heat all of our other skates will seem like a piece of cake compared to this one ;-), Fabio, Scott, Rudy, and George

An 18-mile skate up the Capital Crescent and back via Little Falls-Worthington-Brandywine, down from the Cathedral via Cleveland and down from Adams Morgan on 19th St.  It may have been close to 100 degrees during the skate but at least there wasn't any sun ;-)  In the middle of the day probably would have killed me, but at night it was fun.
