Thanks for participating in what looked to be like a scary 1 hr skate. Wind, rain and lighting! Luckily we did not get drenched but definitely blown around a bit! A great effort was made by all. Enjoyed dinner afterwards too! Thanks again!

We did our part for UNICEF. It did get windy and rained lightly for a while, but we skated for the full hour and longer. Then we went to eat afterwards at Thai Basil. Great food and great companionship! I would do it again in a heart beat. Jennings

I really enjoyed the lightening, the wind, and the rain! Oh, and the fellowship was pretty good, too!

Central Florida Trail Bladers & Bikers meets most Saturdays on the West Orange Trail. We also have periodically scheduled events throughout the week and in other areas of not only Central Florida, but the whole state. See calendar for details - "upcoming list view" is very useful. We attempt to use 3-letter prefixes to indicate activity locations (ORL=Orlando; TMP=Tampa; etc.).
