Join Victor and Emily for the 21st "Connecticut Beach & Country Skate". An
exciting NEW route includes 3 miles inland past beautiful homes on smooth
roads (tested by Jared & Rick) in addition to the awesome Connecticut
shoreline. Three "5 minute" hills will add to the fun but can be avoided
for those who want to skate level. This 24 mile skate is roughly 4 times
the central park loop. You should be comfortable skating on roads with
light traffic. We stop half way for lunch at the quaint Firehouse Deli in
Fairfield. You'll have the option of taking the train back to NY if 12
miles is enough for you. Bikes are welcome. Bring all your friends.

The skate is free and starts about 11:15 AM after the NY Train arrives.

If you drive, the Westport train station is just off northbound Interstate
95, Exit 17, right, first left. Meet on the South side of the tracks.
Parking is free on weekends.

We usually finish skating about 5pm. Trains head back to NY every hour till
midnight.

Meet at Grand Central Station's Central Info Booth (42nd & Park Ave.) at
10:00 am. Catch the 10:07 train to Westport's Saugatuck Train Station (New
Haven line). Round trip train ticket (station) is $21.50.

HELMET & WRIST GUARDS REQUIRED, other protective gear is recommended

Questions to Victor at email <mailto:vc@...>vc@... or call
203-807-1000.

There will be rain in the area, so keep a close eye on the weather and your
fingers crossed.
