First skate date has been posted below, and links have been updated. The Trail Blazers started off as a group of friends meeting once a week for a communal inline skate along the Martin Goodman trail. As more people joined us it became an informal club of sorts. There aren't any rules, fees or forms - you just have to show up with your skates and enjoy some exercise along the lake. Although initially the group comprised of people sharing equal skating ability, we are now so diverse that regardless of your experience, there will be other skaters at your level who you can skate with.
Skates start off in a group, but everyone skates at their own pace.
The skate is an hour and a half long, so regardless of where you are on the trail you turn around and head back after 45 minutes. In theory we all arrive back at the starting point at the same time. Then for those that are interested, we visit a local watering hole for a little socializing to replenish those lost calories and reward ourselves for our effort. This year, as last year, there are a few people who will be showing up on bicycles - although our primary focus is on skating, all are welcome to join as exercise in any form should always be encouraged. In short, the Trail Blazers are a group of people meeting for a little exercise and social fun in a no pressure environment providing motivation to improve your skill and fitness level.
