City Skate and Ice Cream Social

Join us for a Friday evening city skate designed for Advanced Beginners (able to brake and maneuver curbs and gentle slopes).
After the skate, hang out with us for our annual Ice Cream Social right there in the parking lot! The club provides the ice cream, bowls, spoons. Bring a favorite topping!

This skate will have an assigned skate leader, blockers (for intersections), and an assigned sweep (the last skater in the pack).
Nobody gets left behind!

Helmet and wrist guards required at a minimum for our safety. 2+ hours skating of downtown, S. Side, North Shore, Strip District and other venues around downtown. Trails, streets, bridges, stadiums, tunnels, Market Square, Station Square, Strip District and more! See you there for a great tour of the city from the skaters perspective! And get a workout as well.

This urban route will be about 8 miles on mostly flat terrain, but there may be some gentler hills and sloped bridge decks and ramps. As an advanced beginner, you should be able to negotiate curbs, potholes, speed bumps and other urban amenities. Be able to brake confidently! Being able to stop is the most important thing for all of our safety! We will be on the roads so sudden, frequent stopping is often necessary. Please reply to let us know you are skating so we can have proper skate support in place for the event! We want you to skate with us!

It is suggested that you wear light colored clothes, carry a flashlight, luminous wheels, or reflective items. Part of the skate will be completed as darkness is approaching.

Be ready to roll by 6:30 PM at the Eliza Furnace Trail Parking Lot. Get there a little early to gear up and get ready to skate!

Cyclists are welcome to join us! Bike with us to enjoy an evening tour of the city. Also if you have not skated this meetup, biking is a good way to check it out.

NOTE: All skates are weather permitting. If it is dry we should be skating.
