Wheels in motion across the #Amsterdam region: a fast paceline on the polder road, quiet pedal strokes under steel beams, a pause by the sign, and skaters gliding into the breeze.

Sigh. I've been out #InlineSkating #NYC every night this week, but the GD wind! So I've been stuck rolling in Manhattan. Checking the weather forecast (again), maybe I can roll to #Greenpoint #Brooklyn on Friday for lunch at ETC?
It's late October, which means Hallowe'en #GroupSkate s (in costume) are on the menu. The big one is Empire's annual roll from Manhattan UWS to Sleepy Hollow and then to Tarrytown's annual Hallowe'en parade, this Saturday 10/25. Meet up is 8:45 am at Dante Park (Lincoln Center), and distance is 30 miles at a reasonable pace. There _should_ be a sag wagon, but check Empire's FB page for updates
Then next week is the season finale of the official #NYC Wednesday Night Skate. OMG.
It was the end of an era on Tuesday for Empire's Tuesday Night Skate. French Eric, who led TNS for a good 20 years before easing off a year or two ago, rolled his last roll before departing the city. The group skated to Hoboken for the 2nd time this year, reviving an old 1990s TNS tradition, and returned to the city by PATH
I used to play the license plate game while #InlineSkating around #NYC. A jaunt to Coney Island & back was always good for at least 40 states. It's been a couple years since I was serious about it, but my eyes still scan cars as I or they pass by. So imagine my delight to catch two (2!) Idaho plates during a trip to Greenpoint today, one from Ada County and one from Jefferson, the latter practically next door to my hometown. Idaho plates are rare in the city; Montana plates are much easier.

Amazing weather on Thursday to go #InlineSkating in #NYC. A wind shell would not have gone amiss, but still, a great day. Looks like we'll get one more day of this, and then autumn will rudely start pounding on the door.
For all that 2/3 of the #CentralPark loop was resurfaced this year and two other mile-long segments at the north end of the park were resurfaced about 6-7 years ago, there is still that one short bit about 30-40 feet long at the 6th Ave and CPN entrance that hasn't been touched in a very long time and is really rough. It ate one skater alive this afternoon around 5:45.
Whoa. The work on the WSBP #HudsonRiverGreenway by Pier 94 is getting seriously smooooth!
It was a fantastic weekend for #InlineSkating. Not only was it wonderful late summer (wait, what?) weather in #NYC perfect for a roll to Coney, but many city skaters attended the Big Avocado Roll in LA. and posted piles o' miles. Plus, we heard a report from upstate where a city skater gleefully discovered that sections of the Electric Trail near Kinderhook had been upgraded to sweet smooth asphalt. Fun all around.
Out #InlineSkating in Columbia County NYS Sunday afternoon, and I literally wept with joy to discover that 5 miles of a rail-trail that were originally surfaced with stone dust 5 years ago had recently been upgraded to smooth asphalt. That means excellent rolling all 6.2 miles from the 9H crossing in Valatie up to the old depot in North Chatham. And after 3/4 miles on-road, there's another 3 miles of paved trail to Nassau. Woot!
Even more happy to discover while #InlineSkating the #NYC WSBP Hudson River Greenway that the crossing entrance to Pier 94 was resurfaced in asphalt rather than concrete as it had been before, so it was already done! It was probably surfaced really really late Thursday night so the day or two of remaining work that we feared wasn't needed.
Still a bit of detouring in place, but what remains can be rolled with almost zero trouble.
Very glad to see while #InlineSkating the #NYC WSBP Thurs night that NYSDOT or a contractor was working on the crossing at the entrance to Pier 94, i.e, the driveway to the film studio under (re)construction. (Construction fences there came down a few days ago.) That's been a brief but horrible spot to traverse whilst skating, so the scene made us very happy.
But… work is in progress. It will take another day or two of work before that crossing is safely rollable without any detour.
We dropped by Union Square way late after #NYC WNS #GroupSkate finished, and only recognized a couple people amongst the skaters still about.
OTOH, our Strava feed is filling up with NYC skaters in Los Angeles for the Big Avocado Roll!
Kudos to Mario for once again figuring out how to skate 10 miles from LAX to wherever it is he's staying in Venice Beach.
Scrolling through our Strava feed, and OMG, so many peeps who rolled the New York 100k & #NYC #SkateMarathon.
Sorry, no idea (yet) what website has overall results. We're just checking Strava, and ooh, Allegra from #Brooklyn was 8th in the women's 100k bracket. Woot!
If ever in doubt when inline skating: taking a chest high corner with the entirety of your armpit is the most optimal move. Despite everything you might think, nothing comes close to that transfer of energy into an incredibly unprotected and unprepared part of the torso
While #InlineSkating #NYC late Friday night, I met a skater at #Pier76 who asked about my set-up. I am rolling on RB Revv BOA boots mounted on Atom Striker frames.
Her concern was about having narrow feet, I answered, "People tell me Rollerblade boots are too narrow", and I'm like, "No, they are not!" Because… my feet!
Conversation about gel sleeves to lock in your heel ensued.
