[SkateDC] Sunday (3/7/10) Intermediate Skate Route

[George Marinkovich]

My first skate in a long time.  It will be quite gentle, with toy hills, and only 9.5 miles long; in other words, the Yorkshire Terrier of skates.  If you haven't been skating in months this is the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with skating.
