Subject: [wow] Your world, on wheels Date: Wed, 02 May 2007 14:59:18 +0100 This Week, on Wheels Tonight, the LondonSkate will be following the Clapham route southwards, travelling through Fulham, Embankment, Battersea Rise and Clapham Common. There's a lovely downhill just after the half time stop. 7:30pm on Serpentine Road by the bandstand for an 8pm start. See you there! http://www.londonskate.com/index.php/skatesroutesandnews/routelist/New %20Clapham == THIS WEEK: Mind the Gap == On FRIDAY we’re running the CIRCLE LINE skate to celebrate our 6th birthday. The last time we skated this route was in November 2005 and we can’t quite believe we left it so long before doing it again! Last night’s route check confirmed that there are no engineering works, or leaves on the line. At 19 miles this is a longer than usual LFNS, and that means we'll be leaving promptly at 8pm. If you're late and miss the start, you can join us at Liverpool Street, the first of two stops. And in keeping with the Circle Line theme, we’ll be wearing YELLOW! http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070504 As usual, we’ll be joined by our FireBrox sound system, and we’ve been working a music mix for weeks. Hopefully you’ll hear that London’s Calling, we’ll be taking you Round Round but won’t actually be Going Underground (even at Baker Street), our marshals will be wearing Yellow but are somewhat more Downtown than Uptown Girls, and that a disco mix is a perfect way to party on the lovely Kensington Church Street downhill. On this week’s SUNDAY STROLL, Alan will be exploring some of the more genteel areas of our fair city: Victoria, Belgravia and Chelsea. To accommodate the large number of novice skaters who are starting to join us, we’ll be running at a gentle pace, ideal for first-timers. Half time just off Victoria Street. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070506 == LAST WEEK == "great skate. smooth surfaces, good music and an absence of angry taxi drivers. I had a real blast." - a skater On last week’s LFNS, we went loopy to Little Venice through twisting mews to reach Notting Hill for half time. Speeding through Holland Park and Knightsbridge, we thought we were back to the park before lead marshal Edd looped around Hyde Park Corner, down to Victoria, past No 10 for the final ascent by the Ritz and a last mad dash back to the park. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070427 "Must be a chef's convention on wheels" - a bystander In the SUNDAY STROLL’s checkered history, we’ve always squared up to our routes, and this week was no exception. Venturing northwards to Marylebone we criss-crossed from west to south, then north to east, cobbling together something approximating a chessboard, in honour of skater Big Steev's 40th birthday. We sneaked into his music collection which formed a basis for this week's music mix. Did you like it? Want to hear more or less of the same? Let us know using our feedback form. Congratulations to Sandra for completing her first Stroll. We'll see you next week then! http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20070429/01 http://www.lfns.co.uk/feedback.php#contactus == MARATHONS FOR EVERYONE == Skating a marathon is much easier than running one (they take between 1 and 3 hours to complete, depending on your ability). There are 3 in the UK to choose from this year. * The North Region Marathon (Preston), 3rd June. Incorporating the British Championships for the first time. This is a lovely flattish surface, do try this one if you can club together with others and share transport costs. * Goodwood Roller Marathon, 29th July (Goodwood, Sussex). Organised by the Camberley Skaters, described as "a great day out and a perfect start if you are new to skating marathons. All skaters are welcome no matter what level or style of skating". London Inline Marathon, 2nd September. It’s being held at a new venue this year, The Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. The course is less hilly than the old Eastway circuit. http://www.northregionmarathon.com/ http://www.goodwoodmarathon.co.uk/ http://www.londoninlinemarathon.com/ == WHAT SAY THE LAWYERS? == Feedback, comments, complaints, suggestions, please drop us a line through the feedback form on the site.
