# 🛼 Sunday Skate: The Takoma-Rock Creek Loop

Leader: The fabulous Talida

Start: WWI Memorial (Pershing Park) Distance: ~20 Miles | Level: Intermediate

### The Route Highlights

We’re heading north for a scenic loop hitting some of the best pavement in the District:

• The MBT Extension: We’ll cruise the brand-new Metropolitan Branch Trail segment from Fort Totten to Takoma Park. It’s fresh, smooth, and fast!
• Takoma Park Pitstop: A quick breather and hydration refill in Takoma before we cross over to the park.
• Rock Creek Flow: We’ll drop into the park via Sherrill Drive for a car-free Sunday cruise down Beach Drive.

***

### The Details

• Difficulty: Intermediate (Urban street navigation, trail transitions, and one descent).
• Surface: Mostly 8/10 or better (shoutout to that new MBT asphalt!).
• Weather: Washington on Sunday (April 19) will have light rain with a high of 56°F. Northwest winds at 17 mph—bring a light shell!
