Skaters!
We've been talking and talking about it...so, I am proposing a date - December

reading:

This is the oldest Russian Bath in Brooklyn. One interesting feature of this
bath is its hockey theme. Framed jerseys of famous Russian players decorate the

hockey rink. There are even goals on either side of the cafe.

We will spend at least 4 hours steaming, swimming, chilling, etc.
If anyone will have time to eat - we will do it in their cafe. I'd say it is at
least $30 to $50 for dinner, depending on your appetite.
Those who are going to come, please respond with confirmation.

You only need to bring your swimwear, beach sandals(if you prefer, otherwise you
can use house sandals). You will get unlimited towels and for $5 you can rent a

FYI, JOIN IN THE FUN IN THE SUN!!!

A NUMBER OF NYC SKATERS HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED, AND LAST YEAR 36 OF
US PARTICIPATED. MANY, MANY MORE OF US HAVE GONE OVER THE YEARS.

THE GREAT ESSKATE, FUN SKATING + PARTYING WEEKEND FEB 19-21, 2010, a
social/recreational/fitness inline skate events and tours. Weekend
activities for nearly 400 attendees include POLICE-ESCORTED tours of
skater-friendly Miami Beach and the Miami area, a Friday night dinner
with entertainment, a Saturday afternoon picnic, free nightclub
admission and lots of other fun stuff continuing through Sunday
afternoon. Additional registration information is available at
<http://www.thegreatesskate.com/registration.php5>http://www.thegreatesskate.com\
/registration.php5

Now celebrating its TENTH YEAR, this 3-day event is open to skaters
of intermediate levels and above. Bicycle riders are also welcome to
participate.
Continued in 2010 will be skate tours designed as an introduction to
social urban group skating. We believe this will attract a larger
group of skaters who may have previously considered the Great EsSkate
too "hard core" or difficult for their skating abilities.

In 2008, the Miami Beach Police Athletic League (PAL) became our
primary charity; we have donated more than $21,000 to PAL and a total
of more than $96,000 to various charities since the founding of the event.

no plans for a sag wagon this time, so pack light and be sure to bring some
water.

You can get the lifetime $5 permit the same day or before by previously
downloading and filling out permit application at MTA bike web page

Skaters!
Please mark your calendar!
Right after the Bayonne Bridge Skate on September 13 and NYC skate marathon/100K
on September 26, we will skate around Rockaways on October 3 in slow, leisurely
manner we always do! This time I am proposing to skate this rout in the opposite
direction, going through Riis park beaches first and then round it up through
memorial bridges and to Cross Bay boulevard and to the Belt Parkway. We will
enjoy some good food thereafter on Sheepshead Bay.
Please check these pictures that I took during today's scouting of the rout:

Central Park can use your help! So many trees were knocked down and
areas damaged by last week's thunderstorm that the Uptown part of the
Park looks like a lumbering area. Hills of felled trees and chipped
wood that have been gathered demonstrate the devastation. In the
northern end of Central Park, the SEVERE STORM OF AUG. 18, 2009,
BATTERED LANDSCAPES AND FELLED MORE THAN 250 TREES. For more

In times of need such as these, Central Park counts on the support of

Skaters,
We had by far one of the greatest skating week ends this year!
It did not rain, there was only wind, generated by skaters, sweeps did not loose
anyone and no one got hurt!

Below please find links to the pictures that I was able to recover from my
broken camera (it failed 45 minutes in to Sunday skate).
Enjoy!
Saturday ruffle and skates:
