Nice and sunny. I doubt prospect would dry up by around 8 though...

**SpeedFiend** · 12-21-2008 01:23 PM

the wind is gonna be blowing 45 by that time. i would not be surprised if it was dry. that spot will not be dry though and that is where i wanna skate.

**GravityRider15** · 12-21-2008 01:29 PM

Would you be up for prospect tonight? I would risk the trip. it gets plowed, doesn't it?

**SpeedFiend** · 12-21-2008 01:40 PM

monday or tuesday is a more safe bet. i dont know if they plow it, i would think so.

**GravityRider15** · 12-21-2008 01:47 PM

You're definitely right about Monday or Tuesday.

I'm just going nuts not being able to skate, so I might just suck it up and see how it is.

**Archy** · 12-21-2008 01:53 PM

The main park drives get plowed. And salted. But it's gonna be a while before Lookout Hill melts and dries.

**SpeedFiend** · 12-21-2008 01:59 PM

thanks for the info, im bummed about lookout hill, it gets good exposure to wind and sun at least.

**MJKam11** · 12-21-2008 03:10 PM

**SpeedFiend** · 12-21-2008 05:37 PM

the park is small, kind of not that hard to find a hill suitable for snowboarding.

**GravityRider15** · 12-21-2008 09:36 PM

Today will be a high of 30 degrees, with winds blowing up to 40mph.

That being said, who is up for some skating?

**Alpha06** · 12-25-2008 07:02 AM

I'll be up there at like 2:30 or so after some stupid "brunch."

**Alpha06** · 12-25-2008 09:44 AM

I will try to be there then at ~2:30, cutting it close though w/ the time I need to test out a new setup.

I think I will make it out there.

**GravityRider15** · 12-25-2008 11:55 PM

Had a radd time skating today with Serge, Andrea(and his friends), and Archy

**Ammstaff** · 12-26-2008 12:16 PM

I learned my lesson on the other hand. Never be too greedy with speed, otherwise something not good will happened. I dont think ill get that lucky twice, so I should get a nice helment....
But the weather was incredibly good, until the point the sun went down, then it kinda got chilly.
