Most of you have heard about the trip Mary and I took to Canada in the middle of July. One key element of the trip was my participation in the Montreal 24-hour inline skating marathon. I skated with a team of over-55's appropriately named the "Flying Fossils." Although there were no age group divisions, we did very well and it was a delightful event. Since the teams were composed of 10 members, it meant that each of us was skating only 10% of the time and socializing 90% of the time. I have attached a photo of our team. Between laps on the Montreal Formula 1 race track, we rested in the paddock area, where each team was assigned its own space to set up. It was a great group of guys with whom I skated and I certainly would enjoy doing it again. Our team finished 2nd out of over 70 teams. One of our teammates owns a cycling/skating apparel company and he provided all of us with the speed suits that most of us are wearing. Good stuff!
