Rob Bell replied to Mr. T's discussion 'Saint Paul Inline Marathon: thick humidity, but nice event'

I can’t figure out why, but the St Paul course is one of my favorite places to skate. Sure, the pavement isn’t the smoothest; any yes, driving 13 hours each direction to only skate 13.1 miles is kind of a bummer, but even with the changes this is st…

The sprint was on a great course. It was a big improvement over last year's. Great job to Peter and the rest of Team Rainbo for putting it together.

Rob Bell replied to Robert Burnson's discussion 'Tell Us About the Houston Marathon?'

The temperature, wind, and course conditions were ideal this year. I chose to skate on red bont wheels. I skated on 86a red bonts (actually...this exact set of wheels) at road rash, chicagoland, st paul, duluth, and NY100k--they haven't done me wron…

This was my first 100k. I really thought it would be right up my alley since I've been racing long distances on the bike all year. I was wrong. Cycling can only take you so far in skating...I've learned that first hand the past two weeks. We hit th…

Rob Bell replied to Robert Burnson's discussion 'Top 10 Reasons to Skate Chicagoland?'

Rob Bell replied to Robert Burnson's discussion 'Cost comparison: skating vs. cycling'

If you're talking about racing, I'd say skating only has a slight advantage over cycling. The initial cost of skating is definately less. You can get entry level speed skates for about $400. An entry level road bike is about $750. A good pair of rac…

Rob Bell replied to Robert Burnson's discussion 'Texas Road Rash Reports, Photos - Post 'em here'

Elimination Race: I can't say much about it. It's really not my style of racing. I wasn't even sure I was going to skate it until about 30 minutes before the start. My strength is thr ability to hold a high speed for a long time and I have an endura…
