Its an old and very cool group of rec. skaters.
There's an optional $10 yearly fee to become a "sponsor", which goes to web design etc. - a fee that you get back many fold spending time with a very social and happy group.
They meet different places every Sunday and always go to brunch afterwards - don't miss that! :-)
There will be a reminder sent out of where and when the next skate is, just make sure to go to a skate and ask Bruce to get on his email list.
A great group to skate with and since almost all skates are on trails in the greater Tampa bay area, you can decide how far you want to go and how fast - which makes it a perfect group to join for beginners as well as long time skaters.
This is a typical report of a skate, which will be sent out very shortly after the skate. A group picture is also sent out.
From Sunday August 17. 2008
Another Beautiful Day in Paradise. Well.....Maybe it's the calm before the storm (Fay). We elected to do the Pink Streets as a couple of people had never done the Pink Streets. However it would probably have been a good day to do the Skyway also. As a small compromise we skated up to the Holiday Inn Sunspree and took our group picture. The Sunspree parking lot looked pretty small and full to me (for the BJ Trail Skate). The blade through the Pink Streets and Bahama Shores was very easy going and pretty. Dee indicated we went 9.6 miles. Chris, Ginny and Dave came again Andrea and Daisy came. Welcome back!
Munchs was closed for vacation so we Brunched at Skyway Jacks. Janice and Karin went in advance as Skyway Jacks phone # wasn't getting through. They did a good job as we got in after just a few minutes wait. The all guys table for some reason got super fast service and we were in and out in about 40 minutes. The rest took another 10 to 20 minutes or so longer. Rob rated his brunch a 9 but I heard several 10s and a 9.5. We'll give Skyway Jacks a 9.5.
