kit, hi, you prompted me to look up if there are any skating facilities in birmingham, and it turns out that birmingham has the uk's only outdoor rollerblade race track! there's a club (open to anyone) that has access to the track on saturday mornings, 9:30am to 11am, where they will teach anyone who's willing to turn up (skate hire + pads £3 if you don't have your own). http://www.birminghamwheelsrsc.net/
as i've skated in every major city i've been to (just showing off here :) - canberra, berlin, shanghai, bangalore - i can't possibly turn the opportunity down. bus 8A takes you directly to the wheels park. if saturday 9:30am is too adventurous, then at least amongst 350 or so people there must surely be someone else interested in skating: if so and you'd like to do random street skates or find a park do let me know. l. p.s. kit, cristian, btw: if you find a decent _flat_ route with no gravel i'll happily come with you on skates by the canals :) On 6/25/09, Kit BLAKE <kitbl...@infrae.com> wrote: > Hi, > Some of us are planning to go running while at the conference.
