[SkateDC] Sunday (4/3) Intermediate Skate Route

[George Marinkovich]

Sunday (4/3/10) Intermediate Skate Route, leaves White House at 11 AM, led by George Marinkovich.

This route explores parts of the final two Friday Night Skate route alternatives (with much less horrible pavement than two weeks ago, sorry about that!):  Case Bridge and East of Tidal Basin. It will feature beautiful cherry blossoms and will be an easy skate on par with a Friday Night Skate.  While there's not much in the way of hills (with the possible exception of coming down off of the Case Bridge), we will be skating through some throngs of people at the Cherry Blossom Festival.

"Cherry Blossom Special"
