Before it rains

Skated Central Park in the morning before it rains.

Flying
The road condition was a bit better than yesterday, still a lot of leaves (some were wet), pieces of wood, etc though. It was sort of condition I would not skate normally. But it has been and will be raining for total of 7 consecutive days, so I need to skate on a less worse road.

Arco 845 + Cnariam Platino are truly a great combination. Sure grip, stiff ankle area, strong push etc etc. Feel like a new pair of boots and a new pair of frames. Can't wait for skating on dry surface.

Arco 845 made a whole different world

Mounted Arco to Canariam boots. It made a whole different world!

They match sooo good. Even boots feel much stiffer than when mounted Mogema frames. I can push well, double push is easier with Arco.

It has been raining and I went out when it was not raining but the road was wet, so I did not skate much. I can't wait skating on a dry road with Arco + Platino.

Wednesday Night Skate

Joined Wednesday Night Skate. I used to skate WNS every week. But recently I do probably every other week or so due to work schedule conflict etc.

Met @ Union Square at 19:45 and started skating around 20:00. Skated east side up to 59th St. - 59th St. Bridge - Queens - Brooklyn - Williamsburg Bridge - Manhattan. Great route. Mileage was about 20km which is perfect for weekday night skate (came back to Manhattan around 22:00). Would love to do long distance in a weekend.

Route: Queens - Bklyn
Mileage: 20.0 km.
Weather: Temp. 68F (+20 C). Winds 10 mph / 16 km/h (SE), Events Clear, Humidity 70%.
