| Sun, 6 11 am | Sunday Intermediate Skate | led by: Bill English |
| The regular Sunday Intermediate Skate. It is an intermediate level street skate of about 8-10 miles which finishes around 1PM. This skate maintains pace designed to be a workout for an average street skater. The terrain includes some moderate hills such as Capitol Hill and may include high-traffic areas such as Georgetown. There are several stops to regroup and before tricky turns. If you can keep up with our Friday night skate, and get to the end without feeling tired or exhausted, you can probably keep up with this skate. Skate Patrol assists with this skate and helps keep the group together. Difficulty can vary widely depending on the route chosen by the leader. | ||
