However, there are a number of water fountains on the Friday Night Skate route if you seek them out: at the Capitol, along the Mall, before you get to the Washington Monument (on 15th St.), just as you're about to leave the WW II Memorial, inside the Lincoln Memorial, and at intervals all along Ohio Drive.

It would be awesome to have Rodney lead the Friday Night Skate on a regular basis (say once a month). So, assuming he doesn't lose everyone on the way to Froggy Bottom Pub tomorrow night and/or skate everyone into the Potomac River, please remember to thank Rodney for leading the skate. You can be as profuse and grandiloquent as you wish; over the top is baseline for Rodney! Who knows?

If you're interested in one of the other slots, please let me know. There's really no downside to leading skates (especially true of the FNS as there's no preparation whatsoever), and the upside is that you may just find you enjoy it.

However, almost everyone on the Sunday Intermediate skate has experience with the Friday Night Skate route. My suggestion is that y'all skate the Friday Night Skate route on Sunday morning. I hope one of you will step up to lead the skate, but as nearly everyone will be familiar with the route, you can probably just follow the consensus of the herd. The distance with Hains Point included is about 12 miles, a good distance for an intermediate skate, and the sites will look a little different at 9 in the morning than they do after 7 at night.
