Patineurs de vitesse ?

What da...?
Well, this is as close to machine-trans French as we can get to 'Speed Skaters'- which seems an appropriate title for our little sojourns in Europe. We are a group of speed skaters from the Melbourne Speed Club, plus some friends from interstate and overseas, participating in a number of marathons and other skate activities in Italy, France, and Germany as well as side trips (for the ICE addicts...you know who you are) to the Netherlands in search of ice skating opportunities.

Expect also a special report from our rolling-reporter 'Velocity Pete' about Majorca- a popular skating destination in case you didn't know!

If you are planning a similar trip in some future date, our experience could help your planning, so we'll try to provide background information, insider tips, and links to favorite and useful facilities we use- such as a great SIM card to use while roaming with your mobile phone around the globe, and trying to stay in touch with family, friends, or team members spread all over a given city.... (tip of the old Akubra to Adam Trumble for that one)

So, to find out where we are (or will soon be - if you are reading this prior to Mid September 07) follow the posts- listed by date posted, on the upper right >>>

Enjoy!
