Anyone up for a Saturday Afternoon Skate by chance?

Hi Linda,
What, and when, is this event?  I would love to hear about these things when others are registering for them, if that would be an appropriate use of the board.

In case I'm not the only one not skiing tomorrow, anybody want to
skate?

I got waylaid in Malaysia for an extra week - and I heard the skiing in Colo.
was getting pretty good.  CNN even had some clips of car pileups in Denver from
recent snowstorms.  I did get to go scuba diving for a day in Indonesia - 2
dives for $40,000 Rupiah (about $40) including lunch, boat ride, beer, sunburn
...

The streets are wet here in Jakarta, but I didn't bring my skates anyway.  I
don't have enough layover in Singapore to skate there - where it is very popular
and easy to rent. I will be glad to get out of here - and ready to ski when I
get back!

Okay then, let's post skates whenever possible (40 degrees or higher, and some
sunshine!).  The weather reports are pretty reliable, so we don't have to rely
on luck or sheer spontaneity.  And, Patrick, I skated the from REI north trail
we hit that day, then took the long way home through Cheeseman Park....

But Barry! You don't have to skate in sub freezing weather to skate in Denver in the winter. This past Saturday was a case in point--50-60 degrees, sunshine (with a breeze, but nothing biting), and incredibly clear mountain views. I had an amazing skate on clear trails. January is sure to have a few of those perfect days, too, if you folks aren't always skiing!

-------------- Original message from Karen Kalafat <karenkalafat@...>: -------------- 

Hi all, I received this through another listserve and thought some of you might find it to be of interest. I'm not saying we should continue our weekly skates over the winter like these folks - remember they don't have Summit County just around the corner! Karen 

From: "Leo Lozada, Jr." Subject: Winter Skating + Proper Dressing SKATING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD IS EASY - WHEN PREPARED: You can, and we do, enjoy skating all year long in New York City, including throughout our coldest winters! It is safe and fun if the streets are dry. The only special thing you have to do is dress properly. More on dressing follows below. There are many ways and 

places you can 

skate when it is cold. You can skate by yourself or with a group. Here is one option, EMPIRE'S TUESDAY NIGHT SKATE - TNS GOES ALL YEAR LONG, canceling only because of rain, snow, or extreme cold and wind. Cold weather alone does not keep them from the reason for its existence. You can skate with TNS weekly at 8:00 p.m., meeting at Blade Board and Skate at 120 West 72nd Street, between Broadway and Columbus. Say hello to the skaters and regulars will make you feel welcomed. You have to be an 

intermediate 

to an advanced street skater comfortable with a brisk pace on the streets with traffic at night. For details, surf to http://www.empireskate.org, Tuesday Night Skate, or call the Skatephone at 212-774-1774 extension 

5. The 

Empire Skate Club and others continue going out on occasionally 

weekends in our 

winter wonderland. CHECK THOSE EMAILS. For example, on a Saturday afternoon, during an earlier January, in the midst of our cold winter season, twenty-five Empire members and friends skated twenty-two miles. We went round trip through Manhattan to the beautiful Queens Flushing Meadow Park, the site of the 1960's World's Fair, US Open Tennis 

Courts, and 

the Met's Shea Stadium. Okay, a handful of skaters took the subway back after our midpoint lunch break. That was not because of the cold 

weather. They 

were overstuffed from all the good food and drinks they had during our socializing, communal meal. We were all dressed right and relished being together on the brisk, okay - cold, bright, sunny afternoon. Proper clothing helped us have fun! WHAT TO WEAR - LAYERING AND VENTING ARE THE KEYS TO COMFORTABLE WINTER: Do not risk frostbite when the low temperatures and winds combine to keep some skaters off the streets. As I frequently say to folks, who are afraid to skate in the cold: "Do you go out in the 

winter? Yes, 

they always answer. Well, I ask them, do you dress properly to walk in the cold? Yes, again. Then put on the right clothes and you can just as easily skate, and have fun doing it!" By using layers you can insulate 

yourself 

from the cold and wind, allowing for removing or adding clothes as you warm up or cool down. Yet, if you dress properly, you can avoid both extremes. Start from the skin outwards by wearing a breathable, non-absorbent, wicking layer. No matter what the temperature is you always perspire, sweat when skating. You do not want that water trapped near your skin where the cold can reach it and chill it and you. Water is a conductor of 

cold and 

you want to keep it away from your skin. Cotton and wool are no-nos. They act like sponges soaking up the water and holding it. Just make 

sure you 

do not put an absorbent material near your skin. Various types and brands of materials will whisk your perspiration to the next layer. Some of them are polypropylene, Dryfit, Coolmax, silk, Capitene, among others. The next or middle layer should help to insulate, keep you warm, and trap air. Of course breathable wear here also helps. Other possible materials include wool, thermals, Duofold, Polartec, Polarfleece, or other fleece material. Even cotton might work here depending on how much you sweat. Next and finally wear a wind proof outer layer, preferably also breathable and ventable. Using layers makes it easier to add or remove clothing to keep you warm throughout the day, or night. The number and type of layers you use depend on the temperature, wind, skating intensity, personal perspiration rates and tolerance of cold. On extremely cold days, near or below freezing, I usually wear Dryfit, Coolmax, or silk near my skin; followed by another breathable thicker layer, Duofold or cotton turtleneck, a breathable fleece covering or vest, then a nylon, or 

breathable, 

ventable jacket or pullover. I make sure my top layer is ventable, so I can readily open or close it to disperse heat or moisture, and for temperature control. I wear cotton, silk or breathable underwear. On my legs that are less susceptible to the cold, I use silk, Duofold, or other thermal long johns; covered with a wind proofing layer of either nylon pants, or special wind proof, breathable, lightly fleeced bicycling tights or pants; even cotton pants. Some women wear panty hose or tights below their pants. I 

have 

found a couple of great pairs of slightly fleece insulated, breathable, 

wind 

proof, water-resistant bicycling pants that eliminate the need for an insulating layer over my legs. MAKE SURE HANDS ARE WARM, AND WEAR PROPER SOCKS: Your hands will always get cold in frigid weather so be sure you cover them with gloves or mittens. Wearing YOUR WRISTPADS WITH YOUR GLOVES is IMPORTANT. Make sure that either your gloves fit below your pads, or your gloves are big enough to fit over wrist pads. Personal preference rules here, gloves or mittens, pads over or under. Some 

people wear 

special winter biking gloves, or ski gloves. Most ordinary wear gloves 

of all 

types of materials: wool, synthetic, insulated leather, even cashmere. Feet are always important. Some wear extra or a warm pair of socks. Again, 

start 

from the skin outwards by wearing a breathable, non-absorbent, wicking layer. No matter what the temperature is you always perspire, sweat when skating. Sweat on your feet is always a problem when skating. It can just make you uncomfortable or worst, result in blisters. Personally, 

what I 

wear on my hands varies with how cold it is. When mildly cold, I wear silk glove liners, acrylic, or unlined leather batting or golf type 

gloves; 

colder days result in liners and wool or synthetic gloves; extreme cold calls for my fur lined leather gloves. I never find the need to wear something as warm as ski gloves, but others do. Whenever my feet are in skates, I wear polypropylene type socks. Personally, one pair suffices for me whether it is hot or cold outside. Even when skiing all day, I just need one pair of these socks. Others frequently wear two pairs, either a whisking, breathable sock or two pairs. Some ladies wear panty hose on their legs, and find that one pair of whisking socks on top is enough. WEAR A HAT, HEADBAND, OR HEAD BALACLAVA: The latter covers everything except your eyes, and comes in different materials. It is a one-piece combination hood for your head, neck and face. The trick here is to make sure whatever you wear on your 

head 

fits under your helmet, which you should always wear when skating. You can lose forty to sixty percent of your body heat by not covering your head as you do the rest of your body. That lost body heat can be retained with head wear and by keeping you warm instead. I wear a thin, tightly woven synthetic, breathable polypropylene stretch cap under my helmet that does the job. Before that I used to wear a fleece headband that kept my 

ears 

and forehead warm. EYE WEAR: You should always wear eye protection when skating. Glasses protect your eyes from the sun, wind, cold, dust and other particles that smash into your eyes as you speed along on your skates. In the 

winter, 

glasses perform that extra special duty of keeping the cold wind from drying out and chilling those great, big, beautiful eyes. Sun glasses during the day, clear, amber, or rose glasses at night. I always skate with eye wear as recommended by an eye doctor years ago. She said eye protection should always be worn when participating in outdoor sports. 

Otherwise, 

you can seriously damage your sight. The point was emphasized because I 

know 

of at least two people who had tiny slivers of flying metal imbedded in their eyes, one while skating, the other biking. Doctors had to remove 

them. 

FACE MASK: Some people wear cold weather face protecting masks, and 

swear 

by them. They usually make these masks of neoprene, which skiers, snow boarders, scuba divers, extreme mountain climbers have worn for years to add extra warmth. Others wear a face mask made out of a bandanna of cotton, synthetic or silk. I prefer a silk one that folds small into my 

pocket 

when not in use. Whatever, be careful when you roll into a bank wearing 

one. 

Folks may draw guns on you. FACE CREAM: Okay tough guys do not wear make-up. But smart women do. We could and should always learn from smart women! Cold and wind chap and dry out facial skin. A protective cream can stop dry, wind chapped 

skin, and 

with a sun protector will prevent sunburn. Yes, you can catch sunburn in the winter. SHOP FOR DEALS: It does not have to be expensive. Some of these layers you probably already own. You can also find various discount sports, outdoor sports, 

camping 

stores, outlets or websites where great deals exist. A few among many I have used include Sierra Trading Post
