Weather is getting weird again and the next week or so could be brrrrr cold. Nevertheless, there were many signs this past week of #NYC #InlineSkating peeps welcoming the onset of spring. There was the earlier than expected NJ Monday Night Skate, and yesterday, it seems various Empire Speed members got together to do loops in #Brookyn #ProspectPark. Also, there were the Strava reports of peeps posting up miles rolling to Red Hook or circling about inner Queens. Woot!

It's March 6, which means the start of April is less than 4 weeks away. That means official start of the #NYC Official Wednesday Night Skate #InlineSkating #GroupSkate and also inline #speedskating training on the #Brooklyn #ProspectPark loop. We can't wait.
