Last Sunday, I skated the MS Bike Tour in Niagara Falls. I was well prepared for this non-competitive event in a very scenic area made for cyclists; in other words, only a few easy-going long distance outings were sufficient to get ready to take the challenge.
From my last year’s participation, I developed a strategy to have a better experience. Basically, I wanted to avoid the very rough and endless stretches of country roads that made a mess of both my feet. I wanted to skate the very smooth -flat road alongside the Niagara River for as much as I could. From the end of the Lake Erie section to almost until the Falls, turn around and come back skating on the same surface. With the help of my GPS, I could calculate how far I had to go before turning around so I would skate the full planned 75 Kms. Simple enough, would you say? Well, things didn’t happen exactly as planned…
First, I left home at 6:30 to be there by 8:00. With the start scheduled for 8:30, I would have plenty of time to get ready. First surprise: when I arrived there just a few minutes after 8:00, the first wave of riders were ready to go: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…Go! So I rushed to get my bib but, next surprise: they couldn’t find it! Finally, an MS volunteer took any available number and off I went. I got dressed in a record time, turned on my GPS / heart rate monitor / MP3 player, put the ear phones, the sun glasses, helmet and wrist guards and went back to the starting line to find that all riders were gone: I was the last one to hit the road! Nevertheless, I was in a good spirits: skating for MS, is fulfilling for me as I know I contribute something to help people less fortunate than myself – re. their health. The sky was cloudless, the sun up but not yet too hot and there was a slight breeze to cool you down. No more time to waste: it was time to go!

Toronto Inline Skating Club members skated their hearts out at this year’s 24 Hour Roller Montreal.
Eric Gee-
I wanted to take a moment, while the memory of the event was still fresh and thank everyone for contributing to the two TISC teams. You all fought hard and skated well. Despite the fatigue, cold and wind, all I saw were smiles on faces 🙂
TISC 1 finished 726km, good for 6th overall (5th in category), TISC2 finished 546km, good for 26th overall (14th in category). Alex Rudy was a member of the winning team, Il Peloton. Congratulations to everyone who skated and thank you to everyone who helped the skaters survive the amazing and challenging experience.
Also, a special mention to Eric Gee for all his work and to TISC’s Board of Directors for supporting this initiative.

TISC hosted the first stage of the 2013 RSO Series. TISC skaters got to race and test themselves over three distances, including a 300-meter individual time-trial, 500-meter small group race and a 10km elimination race.
TISC provided volunteers and logistical support, playing a vital role in running a nice event for the skaters.
This was the first time brothers and newcomers to TISC Karan and Suraj Aulakh competed. Alex Rudy and Morgane Echardour were the top finishers for men and women.
The next stage for RSO Series will take place on the 400-meter track at Father Redmond, next to Humber College. Everyone is invited to skate- participate and put up their fastest times!
