Ever since i heard about it, I've wanted to do the Friday Night skate throught the streets of London from Hyde Park corner to Picadilly and back. It is one of my life goals. 13 miles of exciting skating through streets that are normally packed with taxis and buses. Check out this video taken by a fellow skater. It captures the whole vibe really well.
Bridge Crossing
Crossing one of the bridges over the Thames. As you can see, it's getting dark. We left at 8 pm and the skate only ended at 10 pm. We did have a bit of a break at half time - much to the delight of the caffee owner at the spot where we stopped. He must have sold his entire week's quota of cool drinks in 10 minutes.
At the finishing line
Me at the end of the 13 mile skate. Sore, stiff ankles. More exhausted than i've been in a long time. Wet with perspiration. And totally exhilerated. Can't wait to do it again!
