Subject: [wow] Week on Wheels: Welcome Back Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 17:00:21 +0000 == THIS WEEK == For the first LONDON FRIDAY NIGHT SKATE of the year we're unveiling the brand new HACKNEY CARRIAGE route - yes, we're heading to Hackney to see the pretty lights outside ye olde town hall. The 13 mile route takes us directly to Old Street, and from there we leave the roads behind in favour of cycle tracks and parkways. The return route was inspired by none other than a skater called Faris, so expect the best that London streets have to offer, though it may be a little noisy. Speaking of which, much music will be delivered by the fumping Firebrox, ridden by the redoubtable Rick. Hackney has no tube station, but those that don't want to complete the second half could catch one of many buses from Hackney Central. Or it's a 2km skate down the road to Bethnal Green. Quick reminder if you've forgotten how to behave on a marshalled skate, you stay BEHIND the lead marshal, IN FRONT of the tail marshal, and to the LEFT of the other marshals who are trying to pass you. This is HACKNEY CARRIAGE not HACKNEY CARNAGE. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20080111 The SUNDAY STROLL will be a bit less epic: for all those with New Years Resolutions to get fit on spinny wheeliny things that Santa may have left lying around. It's a shortish outing to Battersea Park for half time before returning to Hyde Park. Perfect speed for all anyone attempting their first street skate and those that have gained a few extra inches over the holidays and lost their fitness. Come along, it will do you good. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20080113 == SANTASTIC == No skates from last week to report on, but if the return to work has left you feeling Christmas was a long time ago, have a coffee and a quick skive looking at some Santaskate photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigsteev/sets/72157603477726322/ http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Tomsphotos999/SantaSkate2007 The LFNS does not condone personal use of work computing facilities where it may conflict with your employers IT usage policies, nor skiving unless ditto. Caffeine is listed by the US FDA as a "Multiple Purpose Generally Recognized as Safe Food Substance", but overuse may lead to nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, headaches, respiratory alkalosis and heart palpitations. Consider a nice glass of water instead then. == AWAIT '08 SKATES == Here is the News. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of RECREATIONAL SKATERS (NARS) officially formed in late December to represent the interests of recreational and street skaters at a national level and promote our favourite pastime. There'll be an open meeting around the end of February for everyone interested in joining or helping out, but in the meantime join the forum and see what's going on. http://www.nars.org.uk/forum/ EASTERSKATE 08 is confirmed for the weekend of 21-24 March: keep the date free for a return oflast year's popular fancy dress skates, workshops and silly games. We'll be dusting off the bunnyblog soon, so more on that when we've got more to say. LE MANS this year is 28-29th June. This year there's a difference, though: the new "Duo" category allows teams of two, as well as the more usual 10 (or one). The Londonskaters Speed Team are putting a veterans team together (participants must be over 35) and no doubt there'll be the usual choices for non-lycra skaters as well. If you'd rather stay in the UK for your races, the GOODWOOD ROLLER MARATHON - 11 laps of the classic Goodwood Motor Circuit - is set for 10th August 2008. And the LONDON INLINE MARATHON will be held on 31st August at the Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. Registration for that one opens on Monday and there are Early Bird discounts so don't leave it until you forget. http://www.goodwoodmarathon.co.uk/ http://www.londoninlinemarathon.com/ The LONDONSKATE (Wednesday night skate) usually restarts some time in April, but we don't have confirmation of this year's date yet. That was the News. Don't reply to this mail: we don't know what might happen but it won't result in us receiving your text. Use the feedback form on our site instead.
