The Plan...

The plan - ok, the itinerary-

Participate in the following marathons:

1. Italy - Cesenatico marathon- September 15, 2007 - official site
2. France- 3 valleys marathon- September 23, 2007 - official site
3. Germany - Berlin marathon- September 29, 2003- official site

In between, we plan to look for opportunities to skate as much as possible in as many locations as possible (and our 'veterans of Euro-Skating' tell us opportunities in Europe are a plenty) as well as sample the local attractions, food, and well, yes, lets face it, beverages...

Our group will travel together some of the time, especially around the main marathons dates, while also doing 'their own thing' in between.

The main Itinerary is as follows:

12 September- arrive Italy
