If anyone is interested, I will be in London tomorrow on business. If any of you guys train on Wednesday evenings, it'd be great to come along and skate.
Let me know!!! |

But you cant wear lycra. We understand that this may be very difficult for you to come to terms with, but think of it as 'healthy denial'.
A helmet is fine though. And probably a good idea. |

Chris, I was thinking about mentioning the NTWNS/Suicide skate but couldn't quite find the words.
It's not a training run, sometimes it's quick, but not in racing terms, and there are lots of twists and turns (so add a few hockey/indoor moves) There will be traffic, and perhaps some stairs and little or no reguard for the road traffic regs.
I'll try and be up for it, but it's also a night when I meet the girlie so.
Bring a phone, and a tube card, (perhaps a mini A to Z if you have one.) |

| We should also put in a testosterone warning. There is lots of it. Being at the front is like having the biggest antlers. So although it is not fast in the same way as a race, there is not one male that arrives at the end with anything to spare. |

I mean some speed skaters do the NTWNS, and it can be quick, but it isn't racing, well, not like I've seen it, but then again I don't have Vince snapping at my heels.
If I go I'll be in street skating gear, those that manage it* in 5s usually get ribbing from some but my respect.
*and the occashional half time game of Bulldog somewhere in the city. |

Till now.
Front also dictates direction too, though I can see Ken just letting him go.
Think we have scared him off of he has signed off? |

Staffy, Sparky is our fastest street skater. He is our God. We worship the way he has cheated death on the streets time and time again. |

ahem... there once was a time where I could've competed for that title. Now I don't fit into that category anymore 
Chris, no formal training tomorrow due to darkness still prevailing. I was planning to go to gym to do weight training. But if you keen to get a bit of alternative street skating in, I would prob come along on the suicide skate instead. |
