Hi Skaters,

Well, it looks like everything is all set to roll into 2009 with the Napa Valley
Inline Marathon. We moved the date up a couple of weeks this year because the
30th anniversary of the Golden Gate Park Skate Patrol is Sunday July 12. 2009.
You can check out the info at http://www.cora.org/2009NapaIM.htm

This year we are going to try to bring out as many of the Napa residents as
possible to come play in the streets. I plan to incorporate some of the
elements of our Sunday Streets http://www.sundaystreetssf.com and get those
folks out on skates enjoying the closed road. When our race ends at 10AM, the
people will have a race start of their own where they will flood the Silverado
Trail with skates, bikes, scooters and other human powered modes of
transportation. They won't be on the course at the same time as the racers, but
they will get a chance to see how the closed road can open up a whole new world
for health and recreation in Napa Valley.

Online registration for the Napa IM is through Active .com at
http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1665345 Pre-registering will
save you money. The Napa race is always a great time. Come be a part of it.


Keep Rollin',
