The Skate:            Bayonne Bridge Skate
 The Date:              August 24, 2008
 The Time              11:30 am 
 Meet                     At the Jersey City PATH station


 The skate begins at the Exchange Place PATH stop in Jersey City, and
we'll skate through Liberty State Park, over the Bayonne Bridge, and
wind up on the Staten Island Ferry. At about the 3/4 mark, we'll stop
in Staten Island for pizza at Denino's and/or Italian ices at Ralph's.
We will make a couple of deli stops along the way for drinks and snacks.

 We'll leave from Jersey City at 11:30. For those coming from NYC,
we'll meet at 11:00 at the World Trade Center PATH entrance. The PATH
entrance at  Church and Fulton is temporally closed,  you now enter at
Vesey Street and West Broadway, one block west of Church Street. 

The skate is about 22 miles, and we'll probably get to the ferry
between 3 and 4.

 Bring helmets, wristguards, sunscreen, cash for refreshments, and
shoes for the PATH and ferry and Denino's. The PATH accepts cash
($1.75) and pay- per- ride Metro Cards but not unlimited ride Metro
Cards. The Staten Island Ferry is FREE!

 This is a great opportuniity for a close up view of Ellis Island and
the Statute of Liberty from "the Jersey side".

 Call me if you need more info about the skate or are having trouble
getting to Jersey.
