The skate is SUNDAY October 26th.

Join us as skate down the Headless Horseman on Sunday
OCTOBER 26. We'll depart from Columbus Circle at 10AM, heading north
along the Hudson to the historic town of Sleepy Hollow. This will be a ~30 mile
skate, along Riverside, Riverdale, Broadway, and Warburton, including short
shoulderless stretches along Broadway just north of Yonkers. We'll end our
skate at the old cemetery used by the earliest Dutch settlers, from 1640 on,
where "Headless Horseman" author Washington Irving reposes.

We'll then return to Manhattan on Metro North, which runs just next to the
Hudson. The hardier may wish to skate back via White Plains and then head back
down further inland. We will skate at an intermediate speed but for about 30
miles.

Note that we will leave New York City limits, beyond which train stops (Metro
North) occur only once per ~ 1.4 miles. Most roads have nearby bus
routes--Westchester line ($1.40) 1 from Tarrytown to Dobbs Ferry; line 1T from
Dobbs Ferry to the 1 subway stops in Riverdale)--so you can turn back from most
points on route.

Skaters must be comfortable on hills and with traffic. Helmets and wrist guards
required, all other protective gear recommended. We will stop in Sleepy Hollow
for food, and I suspect most will return by train, so please bring money and
shoes.
This is an Empire Club event.
