Hi Greg, and any other tentative skaters,
Sundays are our most laid-back skates. Unless otherwise posted, we always meet at the bottom of the Rocky Steps at 10am and depart at 10:20. Most regulars don't show up 'til closer to push-off, so don't panic if nobody's there right at 10.
We usually go about ten miles with brief stops and a longer water stop. Helmets and pads are strongly recommended. You should be able to brake, skate in control and handle street obstacles (curbs, tracks, etc.).
Hope to see you out soon!
Michael
