OK, here is the concept... Early Saturday Exercise, followed by Schmooze -

  • At the very end, when you get to the jetty, turn left.
  • The road may be labeled "North Jetty" (according to Google) or "San Diego Pl." (according to Yahoo)

Rain or Shine:

Rain will make rollerblading difficult, and will probably cut short the Schmooze portion, but we will be there Rain or Shine

Some Attendees of Past Events, Bay Schmooze I & II: (for confirmed attendees of Bay Schmooze III, look at the list on the right side of the invitation)


Clarification on Time, Distance & Speed:

  • There is NO TARGET END POINT or target distance. The route will support a short walk to the Catamaran and back, or a long blade.
  • Some of the attendees want to exercise for 45 or 60 minutes instead of 90 minutes. These people should arrive around 8:00 AM, so that they can RETURN to the SCHMOOZE at 9:00 AM.
  • 9:00 AM is the key time for the morning. Plan your route, and your "turn around time" so that you return to the SCHMOOZE around 9:00 AM.
  • With the variety of speeds within groups of bladers, bikers, walkers & runners, we do NOT expect the groups to stay together. You may choose to move in a pack, or proceed at your own pace, depending on who you want to exercise with.
