Skaters Invited to a Bike Marathon in Maryland |
ere is a long distance event on the Maryland Eastern Shore that sounds like fun as well as a good way to prepare for the A2A. It will be held on June 2nd-4th. You have your choice of several routes and can do up to 140 miles worth of skating across two days.

Trail Blazers: Volunteering on the B&A and BWI Trails |
f you need a good reason to spend time on the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail or the BWI Trail, you can join the Trail Blazers Program, a volunteer group of about 40 enthusiasts sponsored by Park Rangers in Anne Arundal County.

The Baltimore Annapolis Trail |
here is a skateable trail that runs between Annapolis and BWI Airport (contrary to its name, it doesn't go to Baltimore.) I've spoken to several people who have done it who tell me that it's skater friendly. In terms of support there are a lot of places on the way to stop and get snacks and water and even some pleasant neighborhoods with potentially skater friendly restaraunts to stop at as well.

So Long to Argyle |
o you meet downtown to go for a skate in the city, find yourself at Dupont Circle, make your way to Adams Morgan, do some more climbing and find yourself in Mount Pleasant. Naturally, you want to pop in somewhere for something to drink...
he Argyle convenience store was a prominent stop as a recognizable landmark for many a skate and a place that let skaters in on wheels. It's closed and gone now, for reasons unknown, but the Washington Area Roadskaters will always remember it as a setting for plenty of skating stories.
here are skater freindly convenience stores nearby but none have the character that Argyle did.
