On Sunday I will lead a Sunday Beginner Skate at 9:00 AM. This skate route is a little shorter than the regular Zzz Skate routes and rolls at a slower pace. Se the Sunday Beginner Skate details below.

The  Zzz Skate will depart at 10:30AM. This will be the normal roll out time for the season. Group up location is  Piedmont Park (at the 10th Street entrance). See the Zzz skate details below.
