CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN ON WHEELS ALL WEEKEND LONG For San Francisco’s skaters, Halloween has always been a fantastic experience. Skating through this magnificent city in wild costumes and in full party mode is the kind of experience that makes this such a fantastic place to live. You are invited to come down and celebrate Halloween with the Midnight Rollers as we present a grand haunting of San Francisco on skates all weekend long. |
| We plan to get this party started on Friday,
October 28 with the San Francisco Friday Night Skate. Skaters will gather at Ferry Plaza
in front of the Ferry Building at Market St. and the Embarcadero. Come shake your groove
thang with the "GodFather of Skating" David "D" Miles (in costume as
Don King) as he grooves to the old school funk and roller disco beat from 7:30 to 9:00
P.M. We want to see the wildest, sexiest, oddest and weirdest costumes. At 9:00 we will take off on our 12 mile skate/party tour throughout the City hitting all the hot spots like Pier 39, Aquatic Park, the Palace of Fine Arts, Union Street, the Broadway and Stockton Tunnels, even the South of Market area, PacBell Stadium and back to Ferry Plaza. |

COSTS - The event is free. That's right, I said free if you have your own skates. However, we ask that you make a small donation of $5.00 if you need to rent skates and pads. We have plenty of both inline skates and roller skates. They will be available to rent along with safety gear for the "not ready for prime time" skaters. ALSO SATURDAY, OCT. 29 - HALLOWEEN ROLLER DISCO IN REDWOOD CITY We're taking the action indoors at the Redwood Roller Rink in Redwood City on Saturday night. The rink is located at 1303 Main St. in Redwood City. From S.F. take 101 south to the Woodside exit. Follow Woodside to the El Camino Real North exit. As you take the exit onto El Camino, the first stop sign is Main St. Turn right and follow Main St. for 2 blocks and you're there. If you have a problem, give them a call at 650-369-5558. SUNDAY MORNING, Oct. 30 - HALLOWEEN INLINE SURPRISE 50 K RACE Due to popular demand, we will present the final inline road race of the 2005 race season on Sunday, October 30, 2005 as we present the Halloween Surprise 10 - 30 - 50 Kilometer Roadskate. You will not find a better race venue than the closed off 4 mile section of Canada road between Highway 92 and Edgewood Road along the Crystal Springs Reservoir in San Mateo Ca. The course is rolling hills and smooth asphalt all the way and completely closed to cars. Racers will skate along the course to the 180 turn 3.1 miles from the start.
