Here it is.......New Year's Eve 2008, and time to plan for 2009 skating events.

A quick check shows: 

• Great EsSkate in Miami FLA on the weekend starting Friday 2/6/09; 
• Tdk in Denton NC on Saturday 6/20/09; 
• A2A in Athens GA on Sunday 10/11/09; 
• T2T as TBA;  (plus training skrides)
• Carolina Century as TBA

As the premier online inline group :-)  could we get more indepth confirmation on the above and add to the list with any and all events?

Now is the time to get this Skate on your calendar.

By the time February '09 rolls around, I'll be looking for some warmer weather. 

Some other roadskaters have participated in this event over the last few years so let's hear from them and their experiences.

Hope to see you there!

The photos are from three cameras in time sequence, the vast majority (510) from my road cam and the rest at the start/finish at Gospel Baptist Church.

Here's the kmz file for Google Earth for 510 geolocated thumbnails from my road cam (additional photos available on the above collection):

Our 9th official skating of the 87-mile Athens to Atlanta Roadskate (not including two unofficial traverses in 2005) was on a warm and sunny day one might have expected a month or so earlier. I knew I'd be feeling the muscle cramps in my quads eventually but that didn't stop me from being overly excited at some points early on.

The Texas Flyers had planned to send a team to 2005 A2A [which was canceled that year --roadskater].  I wanted to participate in the worst way.  I was too weak to skate at the time and started to ask skaters to go to A2A.  “Don’t wait ‘til you’re ready.  Go while the event exists.”
