24-Hour Inline Montreal Race Report![]() Submitted by skatey-mark on July 22, 2007 - 11:03pm.
Wow... What do you say after skating for 24 hours? Well, first off I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to our AWESOME support team! Andrea, Maria, Renee, and Dawn -- YOU ROCK! In fact, we need to create a whole new verb that adequately describes how much you rock. And another BIG THANKS to Brian Shicoff for organizing everything, and to Lawrence for really making me earn that silver medal, and to Bryan McKenney for rounding out our team of Americans determined to fulfill Brian's dream of sweeping the podium... (lol)
NC State Games at Greensboro Country Park June 23-24![]() Submitted by roadskater on June 21, 2007 - 2:48am.
We saw more guys out today in skinsuits and on bikes than usual, and I wondered what was up. The funny thing was there were road and mtb types, and some of them seemed to be checking out particular parts of the course with special attention. I forgot all of this until I started looking at ride calendars for the weekend, and in addition to Blood, Sweat and Gears (50 mile/100 mile) in the mountains, I found out that the State Games of NC take place in Greensboro Country Park this weekend.
Tour de Kale 2007 Report![]() Submitted by eebee on June 17, 2007 - 4:29pm.
After several years of seeing the Tour de Kale flyers and jerseys out and about in Greensboro, I had the pleasure this year of finally taking part in this very well-run event. Denton, NC is a little town out in the country, Southwest of Greensboro, and a few miles southwest of Tour de Lions country, i.e., slightly more mountain-side, i.e., slightly hillier. Distance options this year were 120k, 110k, 60k (which Blake and I skated), and 25k (which Andy skated). Tour de Kale offers cash prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd male and female, spread over 4 categories for the 'Summit Challenge', which includes a Bubba division (male over 200lbs). Price is $35 for pre-reg., $40 the day of, plus a $10 deposit on the timing-chip, to be reimbursed after you turn it back in again. For this you get a bib #, meal ticket, event T-shirt & sponsor goodie bag, 120k of support vehicles & rest stops, and a beautiful country course.
Floyd Landis Makes 48 Mountain Bikers Happy![]() Submitted by roadskater on June 6, 2007 - 12:08pm.
While waiting for news of his fate, after a very strange hearing including threats, firings, secrets unveiled, and lots more mental gymnastics, Floyd Landis made his way back on the bike in Vail, Colorado for a mountain bike race. He made 48 people very happy by placing 49th. Imagine finishing ahead of the "then current" Tour de France champion in any kind of bike race!

Found some photos of Texas Road Rash 2007![]() Submitted by eebee on March 25, 2007 - 9:00pm.
It looks like a blast and I wish I could have been there. I found some photos and think I see Artem in some of them, but wasn't sure as I didn't know if he was going to this event... http://sports.webshots.com/photo/2578809320054477580GGhCtF I saw pics of Brian and Andrea, too. And I love this one of deep, meaningful tunes in front of the porta-potties:
Any paved/skate trails in Spartanburg/Gaffney/Greenville areas?![]() Submitted by eebee on March 23, 2007 - 12:56pm.
Does anybody know of any? I tried sctrails.net, which is very informative, just very inconsistent regarding info on whether the trails are actually paved or not. I also tried many, many other places-to-skate type websites, SC trail websites etc. So now I'm specifically asking for anything anybody out there actually either GOES to or KNOWS about regarding places to skate in or near Gaffney, Spartanburg or Greenville - i.e. a really long, paved trail, or skater-friendly roadroute.

Recumbent Exercise Bike Better for Me than Bike Trainer![]() Submitted by northinsouth on March 21, 2007 - 9:58pm.
I recently purchased a recumbent exercise bike to ride after my daughter goes to bed, as it is hard to get out as much as i would like with a 2.5 year old. Its nothing fancy, a Proform XP110 from Sears. I had a magnetic trainer for my road bike, but it's noisy and it just feels unnatural to be in that position on a normal road bike and not move for 30 minutes to an hour.

It's Spring! Go Skate!![]() Submitted by eebee on March 21, 2007 - 10:59am.
Here's a question for anybody experiencing somewhat warmer Spring weather (since it's all relative and the Northerners probably consider 50 deg F to be warm, while some of us wimpy Southerners won't skate below 65 Deg F) - what are you all doing, skate- and training-wise? Are you doing short laps around your local park or have you already embarked on full-fledged roadskates? Did you spend all winter chasing indoor skaters? Please let me know what you're doing, I'd love to know.

Human-Powered Circumnavigation by Pedalboat, Bike & Inline Skates (Rollerblades)![]() Submitted by roadskater on January 27, 2007 - 7:59am.
I'm so glad someone is living some of our dreams for us as we live some of theirs for them! Jason Lewis is a British trekster (supertrekker some say) who has spent part (all?) of the last 13 years circling the earth by pedalboat, bike and inline skates, often joined by a friend on his journey. It seems the goal is to use neither wind nor motors in his quest.

InlineCafe: Storm in a Teacup, Hail, Lightning, Tornadoes, El Niño![]() Submitted by eebee on September 14, 2006 - 1:15pm.
Exciting stuff! This fun NASA article by Dr. Tony Phillips, highlights a 3 year study performed by the National Space Science & Technology Center in Huntsville, AL, about the correlation between lightning formation and ice content of clouds. Not a new theory, but I don't think it had been tested before. ( categories: )
