Fellow Sacramento Skating Email List Members,

Below is the posting promoting the Monday Night Skate that I have made
on Craig's List ( www.craigslist.org ). The posting will last for two
weeks. I don't know about renewal. This posting was suggested to me
by Phil Lenihan. The information came from a flyer Chris Eleveld
helped us make years ago.

10/16-10/30: Sacramento Monday Night Skate (Starts 7:00 p.m.)

The free Monday Night Skate is the largest recreational skate in
Sacramento.

This skate has run continuously (except when rained out) since 1993.
It will probably continue every Monday until 2008 or later.

The group meets at the parking lot at 3rd and S Streets in downtown
Sacramento at 7:00 p.m. It then leaves on a 6 to 12 mile skate. For
variety, the route of the skate changes from Monday to Monday.

Skating with a group is a great way to learn skating. You'll be able
to skate much better than you ever could alone.

Required skills:

* Able to skate for a few miles at a moderate speed. Skating lessons
are available.
* Able to stop, If you come to the Monday Night Skate before 7:00
p.m., you can usually get a free stopping lesson.

Suggested equipment:

* Wrist guards. The most frequent injury skaters receive is a broken
or sprained wrist.
* Helmet. If you fall on your head, this could save you from becoming
a vegetable.
* Knee pads. Can prevent a lot of pain and skin rash.
* Elbow pads. Falling properly to avoid injury requires elbow pads.
Falling on a bare elbow can be very painful.
* When skating is done in the dark: Battery powered lights. Flashing
red lights increase visibility. A flashlight or other white light can
help you see where your are skating.

Also nice:

* A bottle or canteen of water.
