Squiggy 2009

[Birgit]

Hi all,

The outdoor season has a few races left, but the new season has already made itself known

Squiggy Inline Classic 2009 March 13-15 is just 150 and-a-bit-of-change days away - so start planning.

We already have 6 people signed up (http://www.active.com/uploads_search.cfm?upm_id=2825) and you're more than welcome to be one of the early birds, go here to sign up http://www.squiggyclassicinline.com/reg ... ration.php

We are both on Facebook http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=38270790361 and MySpace http://www.myspace.com/squiggyclassicinline please become our friends - one can never have too many!

The event will be the same as last year, just better!! See event details here http://www.squiggyclassicinline.com/
Jessica and I have already hired the chip-timing company from last year (http://www.triandduit.com/webforms/tad_home.aspx).

Hmm what else is new??

We are thinking of adding a 10K - depending on level of interest.
Also putting feelers out in the Roller Derby/quad community to see if there's interest for adding a quad competition.
Jorge Botero (our speed coach in Stardust, Tampa ) has promised to help promote the event in Europe and Columbia - hope even more and even stronger skaters will arrive.

More will be added as time pass, just wanted to let everybody know that we are here and going strong!
