Three the Hard Way
Our September 30th skate ended up being an intense cardio workout for the group of about 50 skaters. Why? Because it was our first truly chilly night since the start of the season. We had to keep moving to keep warm.
And to top it off, it was time to revisit our famous Three Bridges Route.
We kept all of the rest stops to a minimum, bypassing many of them altogether, and quickly reached the 59th Street Bridge. We sailed over the bridge, waiting only for the slower skaters to reach the other side. Then we kept it moving, on over the Pulaski bridge and to a gas station where we had an extended break to load up on snacks and water.
Finally we headed home over the Williamsburg Bridge, still keeping our swift pace. The group handled it all very well. Apparently, since it was towards the end of the season, everyone was in pretty good skating shape.
We hit the bar to replenish the spent calories and quench our thirst with beer (and in some cases, vodka & tonics). Another great night for WNS.
