Would anyone like to go Saturday 8am for Brock's Monument and make
the http://tbn.ca/inline/ skates? The mid-September weather for
Saturday looks great so far.
Hope to see you this evening at Genesee Valley Park!

Brock's Monument) and skating south past the Floral Clock, Power
Plant, Horticultural Park and the Whirlpool then back again. Unlike
prior years, we will not be skating the hill at Queenston. The
pavement is generally good and there are a few road crossings. Apres
to be determined but will be in the Queenston area. After the apres
some of us may do an additional skate (unofficial) along the lower
Niagara River between NOTL and Queenston.
