Eastern Parkway is car free from Grand Army Plaza out toward Brownsville on the 22nd, and a lot of people are planning to skate the whole stretch.
Worth knowing what that asks of you. Skating keeps you in a partial squat and drives force out to the side instead of straight back, and your outside ankle stabilizes the entire time. Four hours of that on legs used to sidewalks usually shows up in the front of the hip. Anyone doing the full route?
