[SkateDC] Sunday (7/11/10) Intermediate Skate Route

[George Marinkovich]

Just thought I'd point out that after some very tough negotiations during which I had to threaten to walk out several times, I was able to secure some pleasant weather for Sunday:  sunny, temperatures between 78 and 84 degrees, a nice breeze out of the NNW at 8 mph, and most importantly, absolutely no chance of precipitation.  I did, however, have to make somewhat painful concessions on the humidity, which will range from 58% to 46%.  Will try to do better next time ;-)

Cheers,
George
