New start/finish place for Sunday AM Skates
Skate Away 8:00 AM
The Bagel Nosh Restaurant
Located at the S.E. Corner of Warner Ave.& 48th St.
From Bagel Nosh we take the bike route S. a couple blocks to Knox. We turn W. on Knox to 36th St., which turns into Ranch Circle, which turns into 40th St at Chandler Blvd. There is a bike lane the whole way and relatively little traffic. From 40th and Chandler everyone knows the routes and we have all kinds of possibilities for short or long skates, through the neighborhoods or on Pecos.


Alternate Route for those who prefer skating the far west end of the Pecos Rd. area:
Skate Away Time 7:30 AM **
Park at 17th Ave & Liberty: Alt.#1: Skate down to Pecos (West to the end) and
into the neighboorhoods, then back and
up 17th Ave hill for small or large hill loops.
Alt.#2: Skate Down to Pecos and then East to 40th St., then turn around and
skate back (West ) to the end of Pecos and into the neighboorhood then back to 17th & Liberty.
Some small hill loops (3.4 mi) can be done from there if desired. (total = +/- 16 miles).
Advantage: Hills are at beginning of skate (downhill on way back ) and less
Westward traffic on Pecos as time gets later.
Drive to Bagel Nosh & meet with the rest of the skaters for breakfast.

**Earlier skate away time at 17th & Liberty is to allow drive time
to Bagel Nosh after skate and coordinate with return of main group.

 

 


For SKATE-AWAY TIME SEE BELOW

There is "hill work" available from Pecos up 17th Ave. (see map)
WARNING: Due to the increased traffic on Pecos Rd., it is imperative that skaters skate in the bike lanes.
Be courteous and share the lanes with bikers, runners and other skaters.
If you are warned that bikers are approaching from the rear,
move right and share the lane so as not to force them out into traffic.
