Skate the El Rio Trail and Celebrate Jim's Birthday

This is a fun skate along the El Rio creek. Imagine skating under I-95 or Yamato Road and for good measure under the Tri Rail tracks. You will get the feeling of being in a mini Jurassic Park because you will see Iguanas running along the path or sitting in the sun near the water,

After the skate we will go to Gene C's house for an after skate brunch to celebrate our organizer. Jim's birthday with a potluck brunch. Please RSVP in advance for this event so we'll know what to prepare.

This is an intermediate level C skate, with no hills or bridges, however you should be able to come to a stop where the trail crosses traffic controlled intersections.

9:00 am : Meet at the Boca Raton Tri-Rail Station
Assemble at the North end of parking lot look for my gray Tesla.

9:15 am - 11:30 am : SKATE !
We will cruise the very smooth path along the El Rio Trail and for the more experienced skaters, we can add additional distance in the adjacent Spanish River Athletic Field/DeHoernle Park. With this skate there is something for everyone.
12:00 pm Brunch
We strongly recommend that you wear safety gear (bike helmet and wrist guards at a minimum).
Confirmed skaters are welcome to join us and do extra miles, or help give skating tips to the less experienced. Remember to bring water and sun-block, and drink plenty of water before hand to stay hydrated!
