Friday Night Skate

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 Freedom Plaza 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 wait for us to return back to the Lincoln or backtrack to Freedom Plaza.

Those wanting a bit more distance will proceed on to Haynes Point 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.)

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 update this post!

Of course, all skating is at your own risk.
