Skate DC

Joined 'Skate DC Weekend' (May 11 to 13, 2007).

NYC
It was a lot of fun to skate by seeing familar landmarks such as White House, Capitol House, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial. The condition of pavement was very good in DC so that we enjoyed real smooth ride.

There were probably approx. 100 pax.

NY Times Article

Empire Skate Club's Thursday Evening Roll (TER) is in NY Times - 'UrbanEye' email.

FITNESS
Public Efforts

There are nearly as many New York Sports Clubs as Starbucks, but why do your sweating indoors? Among the cityfs countless options for outdoor exercise, roller skating aficionados will take a glide around Central Park tonight. Join them, then head to a gskate-friendlyh bar afterward. Or do some outdoor yoga - on the grass in Bryant Park or on a rooftop at sunset in Times Square. See? You can sweat anywhere, not just at the gym (or in the subway).

Skating, meet at 6:45 p.m. at Columbus Circle; free. Call the SkatePhone - (212) 774-1774, ext. 2 - in case of iffy weather.

But it started raining little before 7PM as if the sky was waiting for the beginning of TER...
