Subject: [wow] We're on Wheels again! Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:47:52 +0000 Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends[*] [*] except at Christmas, and when it rains, and maybe a few other times. Too much turkey this Xmas? Made a New Year resolution to keep fit, but hating the gym already? Never fear: WE'RE BACK. Every Friday you can keep those resolutions to lose weight and make new friends in one easy to swallow 12 mile skate. (Or, if that really isn't easy to swallow, there's the 8 mile Sunday Stroll on - concentrate at the back - Sundays.) * This week: Culture Club, Liverpool St * Last year: Santaskate pics * Thinking outside the brox * Word of the Week == THIS WEEK == This FRIDAY's Lead Marshal, Sol, studied Art History in Tallinn Art University (that's in Estonia). And she has celebrated her love of culture in a route that starts out down Exhibition Road (past the V&A) and goes on to pass Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the British Museum, Somerset House (now home to the Courtauld Gallery), John Soane's Museum (on Lincoln's Inn Fields), the National Portrait Gallery and its neighbour, the National Gallery and the Royal Academy. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070112 Oh, yeah. And then we go to the pub. (But if you want to lose weight you won't be interested in that bit, of course) On SUNDAY, Lead Marshal "let's see if I can do a no-alcohol January" Christian will be leading the second of his two Pet Shop Boys inspired skates. Having completed West End Girls last November, we're trying out East End Boys this time. Of course being a Stroll we'll be going at a relaxed pace so perfect for getting back into skating (or indeed for just getting into skating). Half-time is Liverpool Street; so not really that East End, but let's not get picky this early in the year. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070114 == LAST YEAR == For those that don't remember, we finished up last year with half a LFNS (before the rain made the ground too slippery to continue), a Sunday Stroll, and a Santa Skate. And if you missed the Santa Skate you can probably piece most of it together from the videos that spectators uploaded to Youtube. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20061215/1 http://www.serpentineroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22385 Big up to everyone that helped out last year and thanks to everyone that KEPT LEFT. == BASSLESS RUMOURS == The Firebrox went away for a rebuild after the last skate of last year http://ww.telent.net/tmp/rollbar.jpg but it should be back soon - not this Friday, though. It has its own New Year Resolutions - to be lighter, sexier, faster, louder, and easier to store - and we've put blood (yes, really), sweat and white spirit into this redesign to make it so. Is this an elaborate runup to an appeal for donations? No, you're probably not the right blood group. But look out for it when it returns. Especially if you're standing in front of it at traffic lights ... == WORD OF THE WEEK == First in a regular series of useful skating terms: HOCKEY STOP(n) marshalling technique for blocking taxis, involves big wooden stick == WRAPPING PAPER == WoW is on its after-Xmas diet, so this is a short edition. We are thinking about the sorts of things we could cover this year (thanks to all who suggested ideas on Serpentine Road).
