Mt. Vernon, Va. Skating Paths:
Forest Park in St. Louis is one of the best paths around. Hills and valleys, turns and forest, its 6.2 miles is really great. Highly recommended. bucholz@musu2.slu.edu
Go to the St. Lucie West Campus of Indian River Community College, continue down the dirt road about one half mile, and before you lies about 500 acres of a community development which had been planned and laid out 25 years ago by General Development, all paved but never built upon. Miles of asphalt roads, no traffic except for the odd hunter, Remote Control plane enthusiast or dog walker. So few people go there that even sex perverts don't bother 'cause there's no one to prey upon! It's heaven. One continuous 5 mile loop and miles of circuitous paths, not all skatable but most are. Bring your own water. Bring the dog! ngilmore@gate.net
It is the best place to skate. All the most famous skaters in the world go there including F.R.
The Washington and Old Dominion Bike Trail runs from Purcellville, Va. to Mount Vernon, Va. The trail is paved with a high-quality asphalt and is relatively free of debris. It's usually about ten to twelve feet across on the average, so there's enough room to build up a good stride. The scenery is historic and beautiful - the trail runs across numerous bridges and past historic landmarks. The bikers are unusally considerate, and there are several water fountains and rest stops along the way. It's a great workout early morning, in the evening, or just whenever you feel the need to blade. If you're in the Washington - northern Virginia area, give it a try.
For the ultimate skate experience, 6 miles of virgin smooth ashphalt on a double lane road that has more skaters and cyclists than cars. Course runs due west with a couple of short steep climbs that will make your butt hard enough to crack walnuts.
Course is located in Ahwatukee AZ (Sometimes referred to as The Foothills) Just south of the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Directions: Take I-17 South to Chandler Blvd exit,(approx. 5 & 1/2 Miles south of the Supersition Freeway). Turn right on Chandler Blvd for approx. 2 miles to 40th St. Turn Right on 40th St for 1/2 mile to Pecos road (at the end of 40th St.) Park car on left, lace up skates, squat real low, push with your heels and have a blast.
Road runs West 6 miles to a turnaround, can come back the same direction and hit the hills from a the opposite side. The entire area has several other roads to explore that will further challange your skating abilities. P13486@email.mot.com
