Join us as The Washington Area Roadskaters lead you on a different adventure every week, skating through and around our Nation's Capital! Skate description will be placed here as the route is published. For up to the minute details, check Facebook and Instagram. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WashingtonAreaRoadskaters/events Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weareskatedc/ We hope to see you Sunday!

Bring your lights for the “Friday Night” Skate! **Join us for the Friday Night Skate!** See the monuments of DC all lit up at night! We will meet at the National World War I Memorial “Pershing Park” at 7pm. We’ll warm up with a nice easy skate to the Capital and skate along the mall and museums to the National Monument. We will then head to the Lincoln Memorial through the World War II Memorial. Those interested in just a 5.5 mile skate can backtrack to Pershing Park. The group will then proceed from the Lincoln to Haynes Point via Ohio Drive with the option to take the 3 mile loop (12 mile total skate) or sit by the water and enjoy the crisp air (8.5 mile total skate.) There are three options to loop back to the Pershing Park WWI Memorial and our path back will depend on the preferences / skill of the group. The skate is mostly flat on good pavement with a small slope coming down from the Washington Monument and a 40 yard small slop from the Lincoln to Ohio Drive. If skaters are more advanced we will cross the 14th St bridge, enjoy a few up and down hills and finish with a downhill through the 12th St. tunnel. Please feel free to jazz it up with lights, I wear a helmet bike light, a fun set of lights and lighted wheels! Wear your lights so you have fun, can see and be seen! In case of bad weather, I will cancel the skate by 6pm on this post. **Of course, all skating is at your own risk.**

We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best. * Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle). * Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved. * Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved. * Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved. Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations. **+++++++++++++++++++++** **The Fine Print:** **+++++++++++++++++++++** An RSVP of 'YES' is your digital signature and means you have read and understood [MEETUP.com's:](http://meetup.com's/) * "Terms of Service : Section 6.

[https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43436538](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43436538) 33 miles. Toilets at beginning, middle, and along the way. Lunch in Herndon at approx. 16 miles. Join us for a leisurely ride along the W&OD trail, one of northern Virginia's best bike routes. This is a regularly repeated ride because it’s easy. Parking is good, there are rest rooms, the path is not usually crowded, and it’s mostly flat and mostly paved. It is longish, but requires very little navigation. Our lunch break is near The Herndon Caboose which is located in the historic Town of Herndon, a small town that embraces its railroad past. Check out the Green Lizard Cycling & Coffee shop, or grab something at the bakery in town. We meet at 10:00 and leave at 10:15 from the south Bluemont Parking lot, The address listed above (which is the address of the house nearby) will get you to us. It’s just a minute after you cross route 50. This ride is about 33 miles but it’s mostly straight so you can turn around at any time and find your way back. If you would like to extend the ride, you can keep going past Herndon. Or ride past the return spot in Arlington to pick up one of the other bike paths that connect nearby. **NOTE : Please be careful on the road crossings since there are several small ones and a few busier ones. Gallows Road, for example, can be busy, but it does have a traffic light to help you cross.** Bring plenty of water! Bring snacks or grab something on the ride in Herndon. Someone will stay with the bikes. Pump your tires, charge your battery, and check your brakes before the ride. Consider carrying a spare tube. **THINGS TO KNOW:** The group stops a few times (certainly before tricky turns) for slower riders to catch up. We maintain polite bike path etiquette and are respectful of others using the path. As usual, non-assisted bikers are most welcome. For the E-Bike Lovers group to be successful, we need to grow our membership carefully. Please feel free to invite other E-Bike lovers spread the word, and let’s have fun! **We recommend that you download the Ride With GPS route to ensure your independence.:** [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43436538](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43436538) **Free Ride With GPS for E-Bike Lovers** The Ride With GPS E-bike Lovers club membership is now free as www.ebikelovers.com generates sufficient income from ads to cover the costs.

Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and we’re excited to get back rolling together. These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus. Details: Meet: 1160 N High St 9:30 AM meet 10:00 AM rollout All wheels welcome We’ll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start. Come solo or bring a friend!
