MIke - Great website upgrade. Looking forward to the indoor season too. Thanks for keeping it going.
Sarah - Wow. What a story. Sorry to hear what you have gone (are going) through. It's hard to believe. You were skating so strong in Thunder Bay. Hope you recover faster than you expect. See you in Duluth.
Mike Cofrin and his team at Podium Sports pulled off a great set of races last weekend. Congrats to work well done.
If you have never participated in the St. Paul/Minnesota race(s) I would highly encourage it.
Thanks for sticking with it Podium!

Franklin "Diesel" Eekhout said… - Hi John!
I am a rec skater, mostly skating bike paths and in the street or on the sidewalks here in Oslo and the surrounding areas. Getting 100mm wheels really opened up Oslo for my skating the city. Even on 5x80 it always felt like hard work as the asphalt/blacktop here is often rough going compared to the rest of Europe I have experienced.
I've done a few short races, 10-20K maybe, but they were mostly just for fun to see how/if I would like it. I think I would have to be a fast skater to enjoy races; I found them rather lonely as no one talks and a little stressful as one has to hurry up all the time... :-)
The largest (loosely) organized group of skaters in Norway is Rollers.no. We basically teach skating and do social skates in the weekend. We meet once or twice a week at Valle Hovin in the summer, have you been there? Check out www.rollers.no.
In the winter we organize nordic skating, close to 1000 on the mailing list now, 30+ skaters showed up each weekend this last season. I do the planning and lead most of the trips on the ice.
There is a summer suite of inline races with prize money, but I think the general idea in Norway is that inlines are for kids. Real skaters ice skate! Chad Hedrick shook up that notion quite a bit, but they always slagged his style, even though he won races. :-)
