Our Skate, Skate, Skate
On Wednesday Night - August 27, 2003
By Peter U.

Out of the night gathered about a dozen APRR skaters to the tone of Zorro, as the Carter Center parking lot was WET. Thomas P cautioned us about skating in rain. “During a race is one thing,” he said. “But skating at night and through turns, while traversing both dry and wet roads – could cause some of us to wipeout.” Beth D, who was not even in skating attire, convinced several of the skaters to grab a burger at the Vortex. And true to his German mindset (to skate in rain, slush, and snow), Uwe B suggested that the dozen or so skaters drive over to Decatur, where it was considered to be dry. Though none of us were takers.
