Sunday Skate - Rosslyn to Adams Morgan!

## 🛼 Sunday City Skate: Potomac Loops & Kalorama Heights

Since Freedom Plaza is still closed for construction, we are shifting our starting point slightly to the WWI Memorial! This 12-mile intermediate loop is a classic D.C. tour, hitting scenic bridges, urban climbs, and historic neighborhoods.
