Honestly, I can't imagine waiting until June of 2009 to do another 24 hour skate. That's more than half a year away.
And thinking about the reversed climate of our ultraskate brethren down in New Zealand... while we skate icy asphalt trails and sport frosty beards in the Northern winter, the Kiwis are cruising up and down hot sandy beachside boardwalks. If they're up to it, this could be their season to push themselves further with less chance of pulling a hamstring or frosting up their lungs.
Plus, winter is slightly drier than spring here in the Northwest anyway. Then there's that slight chance of flying to California later this winter as well, which would raise the temps at least a few degrees, if the SoCal crew finds a decent ultraskate location.
So -- I'm at least tentatively thinking March 2009
The end of March would be the best because the first part of March is when we get rain here in Southern California. In less were in drought conditions like we have been these past few years. But the rain dry's up fast run off fast also in San Diego area. _________________ Terry
We have the perfect location, and I suppose this gives us enough time to get planning across the Pond, but I do wonder if the W might not hold on us. We get very blustery wet W in March...
...perhaps we can send a prayer to the gods? _________________ Laura | Proud Practitioner of Karmic Longboarding | http://www.happyskater.org
I still say sacrificing Calum is the only way to go, I will bring an angle grinder to clear that globe thing off of the top of the sacrifical alter in the stone circle
I would be up for it xmas day if the weather was dry and we could skate through the night at Dorney, sod the cold; once you get going you will not notice it, good excuse top keep going as well
We will have to appeal to the SUN Gods for some dry days up here this winter. I'll consult one of our local experts on the appropriate Native American dances, which could also double as a great cross-trainer.
Hmmm. March 20th is the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. This leaves three months until the Solstice which would be my ideal time for doing this (though poor if you're in NZ). Equinox, perhaps, might be the best time for both hemispheres.
Calum; I am only joking, I would never dream of sacrificing anyone
By the way make sure you have a good shower and wear some clean socks for the Dorney to Dusk session this weekend and only drink water from 10pm the night before
