TRIC Friday Night City Sights - Weekly Street and Trail Skate

Regular season Friday downtown weekly organized street and trail skate. Great skate to see the city sights. Route varies weekly.

This skate is patrolled and will have an assigned skate leader and blockers.

Please reply to let us know you are skating so we can have proper skate support in place for the event.

Intermediate skaters, helmet and wrist guards required at a minimum for our safety. 2+ hours skating of downtown, S. Side, North Shore, Strip District and other venues around downtown. Trails, streets, bridges, stadiums, tunnels, Market Square, Station Square, Strip District and more! See you there for a great tour of the city from the skaters perspective! And get a workout as well.

Moderate pace. Urban skate. 10 to 16 miles. Mostly flat type terrain, but some gentler hills and sloped bridge decks and ramps may be encountered. Be able to maneuver in pedestrian and vehicular traffic, negotiate curbs, potholes, speed bumps and other urban amenities. Be able to brake confidently.

It is suggested that you wear light colored clothes, carry a flashlight, or wear blinkys, or reflective items. Part of the skate will be completed as darkness is approaching.

Be ready to roll by 6:00 PM at the Eliza Furnace Trail Parking Lot. Get there a little early to gear up and get ready to skate!

Come out and be part of the fun!

Cyclists are welcome to join us! Bike with us to enjoy an evening tour of the city. Also if you have not skated this meetup, biking is a good way to check it out.

NOTE: All skates are weather permitting. If it is dry we should be skating.

DISCLAIMER: Even if you do not join the club, please be advised that TRIC strongly recommends that all participants in TRIC sponsored events (including its weekly city skates) should carry medical and liability insurance and should wear protective gear (i.e., helmet, wrist guards, kneepads, elbow pads, and, at night, reflective clothing and blinking lights). Please also be advised that there are particular inherent risks of injury involved in city inline/roller skating, including, but not limited to: cars, bicycles, other skaters, pedestrians, potholes, manhole covers, chains, trolley tracks, cobblestones, bad pavement, water, oil, debris, gravel, curbs, stairs, hills and inclines. This list of possible risks is not comprehensive, because conditions on the street, including the weather, are constantly changing. TRIC cannot accept any liability for the existence of any such risks. Ultimately, each skater is responsible for staying alert to potential risks and obeying all traffic regulations. Finally, TRIC strongly recommends that all participants in TRIC sponsored events (including the city skates) possess and master a set of minimum skate skills before participating in its events: the ability to skate in control, especially on hills; to stop in traffic; to maneuver curbs; and to avoid obstacles.
