Weather permitting (and it does not really look like it will permit!) is there any training session / slow skating this long weekend?

There's a long slow skate at 15.00 at the beach tomorrow, weather permitting of course.

If Sol's skate is off tonight, a few of us are going to The Gym (Covent Garden, 020 7836 4835) for a half-spinning, half-cycling class (6-7pm). They accept non-members and the class costs £6.50 (no idea why classes in the UK are so expensive!!!)

I think I will do another long slow skate, or a variant thereof, at 13.30 tomorrow Sunday 1/1/6. Meet at the beach, weather permitting.

Thanks! I was very impressed with the turnout, well done guys! Let's hope it doesn't get too wet tomorrow morning.

On verra, tomorrow morning, depending on 'le hangover'. today's LSS was great, however, but challenging, hard for me to do a heel carve and parallel turn in speedskates. T'was a challenging session, as freqently. Thanks Mike.

Ooh, I'm tired now, lots of km on the bike and two long slow skates. Had a little kip on the couch after I got home. Embarassed

Hey Mike - you went out?

I wimped out Embarassed

I looked outside and it was damp and dreary so I stayed in. I tried to phone you but just got weird noises when I dialled your mobile.

Weather forecast is looking good for tomorrow - so if it's right I'll head into town early, skate Serpentine Road a few times then off on the Circle Line Skate @ 2

I think my phone crashed, I got Amy's message too late as well. Sorry guys!

TBH I so nearly wimped out myself, but I'm glad I went in the end. I just had a few sprinkles on the way in and then it was mostly dry (though with a half/half wet and dry road).
