Route #3
Difficulty: 2/5
Distance: 7.4
* Location: this location has given apple/google maps trouble in the past. Look up the Minnesota Veteran's Home if you get lost. The road to the parking lot is off of 46th Ave S.
** Difficulty: Skaters must be able to skate in a city and trail setting. Sticks cracks and other pedestrians will be present. Awareness and the ability to react to hazards is a must. This route features long trails with small-medium length hills. Skaters must be able to stop from a moderate pace. This route is primarily black top trails. These long trail stretches may challenge some skaters. Differences in skill and fitness level will cause some skaters to pull away from others. We will stop as needed to keep the group together, but skaters must be able to keep a moderate pace and skate multiple miles without stopping. Keep in mind we cater to all skill levels, so you so moderate doesn't mean fast. Averaging 4mph is enough to get back under our 2 hour time window. That being said there are no short cuts back on this route; too many stops may cause us to go too late into the night. I want us to do our best to be respectful to group member's time.
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
