WHO IT'S FOR

Monday Night Skate is built for skaters who can comfortably handle 10+ miles, hills, traffic, and a moderate pace. If you can keep up with a brisk cycling group on inline skates, you'll fit right in.

New to longer skates? Try Wednesday first — it's a friendlier on-ramp.

WHAT TO BRING

This is a recommended list, feel free to bring what you believe you need.

• Lights — recommended, but not always required.  Some routes have much darker streets than others.

• Water — pre-hydrate and/or plan on bringing at least one bottle; hydration packs are also common.  We do not always stop at a store as a group.

• Helmet — encouraged, along with wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads..

• Phone — for emergencies and the post-skate group photo.

• Reflective gear — if your skates or clothes aren't already bright.
