Invitation to Squiggy Classic Inline 2009 - Tampa, Florida, March 13-15 2009.
Dear all roadskaters:-)
Just wanted to let you know of a sunny, flat, warm, friendly skate and race in Florida in just 2 weeks.
If you have never heard of Squiggy go here http://www.squiggyclassicinline.com/faq_photo/faq.php
In a few words we are two skaters - Jessica Wright and Birgit Holme that are organizing a skate weekend for all levels of skating.
Friday we have a social Skate in the Dark
Saturday a 7 mile Time Trial and
Sunday we have a half marathon and a marathon on a perfectly flat and smooth course out in a wilderness park = perfect skating conditions.
On top of the great Florida weather we are also the opening race for NROC this year - if you have never heard about NROC before then go here and learn more http://nroc.inlineplanet.com/NROC is short for National Roller Cup.
Hope to lots of you there!!

Any questions - what so ever - send me an email or post here or both - I'll be happy to help!!

Squiggy is GREAT!
I did this race last year and it was awesome! Just as Birgit said, the trail is flat as a pancake and smooth as one too! :-) It's a bit narrow, so passing might be an issue in the final sprint (so start your sprint early:-) ) but everything else is top notch!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it down to Squiggy this year but I would highly recommend this event to anyone who can make it!
Oh no
Thanks - we try our best!

More Squiggy Classic Inline Marathon photos
Here are more of the professional photos from the actual marathon. If you're on any skate list you've probably already seen the links to these, but I thought they deserved an extra plug because they're great shots. There are several of most skaters, so you can click through and see stills of their skate technique probably less than a second apart. I was happy to see some of the women double-pushing. I don't ever get to see that because I'm usually not skating anywhere near them :-). Also fun are the shots of a particular bend, and you can see people's crossovers. Interesting to me to see where people start their crossovers.
Looks like a beautiful, flat course.
Thanks for posting
