Hey all - Who's going to the Great EsKate?  I am!!  Hooray!  It's Feb 19-21, 2010.  For those who don't know, this is THE premier social skate event of the year, 3 days of skating and socializing in Miami Beach with skaters from all over the country.  No, they didn't pay me to write this.  I just wanted to let everyone know who's planning to go that if you register by November 4 you will get the lowest registration fee.  Check it out --

Subject: [icb_announce] Halloween events on wheels this Saturday


 



After Tuesday's event got rained out, at least part of
Saturday is supposed to be dry.

During the day, 9:30 to 1:30 is the Tour de Graves. 18 miles over 4 hours.
I haven't contacted the organizers, but when I have done MassBike sponsored
events in the past on skates, there has never been a problem and always a few
questions about when/where there are group skates. Remember to bring something
to walk in at Mount Auburn at the end. Costumes encouraged.

Saturday evening at 8:30 going to 11:30 there is the 9th annual Halloween Ride.
Last year they claim they had 240 riders.
Why stick to one website, they have two

While they don't post the route, they say this year's route will be
similar to last year's. Link here:

I contacted them about having skaters on the ride. The writer to the
return email seemed a little stunned that skaters would want to join them
and a bit unsure. I am thinking if they have an average speed of 4-5 mph
and 240 people they shouldn't have any trouble with a few skaters joining
them. And if you have a good costume I'm sure they will be glad you came.
