Red Dress Day
Grab your skates don tomato red clothes and join Friday Night Skate. Anyone can join as long as they are experienced skaters who can brake in expected and unexpected circumstances. Besides, they will have to keep up with the group's speed. If not, the advice is practise and join the tour next month. Wrist, elbow and knee protection as well as a helmet are not fashion gear but essential items as the twenty-kilometre tour runs across challenging roads and obstacles.
Sailing along the asphalt stretches of road is a piece of cake, but a good way to get into the mood. Steep bridges, multi-storeyed car parks, cobbled lanes, canal paths, dark tunnels and uneven pavements demand attention and skill.
Route planners set out a new route every month. Two stops are included before and after twenty kilometres of fun skating it is back to base. Weather permitting, one tour a month from April to October.
