There's no extra fee to participate in the challenge, you just have to sign up for Squiggy Classic Inline and Tampa Classic

We will recognize the winners for Tampa Inline Challenge at Tampa Classic, April 12 2009.

Looking forward to see lots of skaters do both events.

Why you ask?

Jessica and I (Birgit) were after Squiggy asked by many if we would organize more races - we heard ya! and thanks!! - this will be our gift to the outdoor skaters that asked for more races in Florida, hope y'all like the concept.

We hope to make outdoor skaters (those who primarily will participate in road races like Squiggy Classic Inline) see that the outdoor races/skating offered at "indoor meets" are lots of fun.

And vice-versa we hope to convince the indoor skaters that out door road skating is well yes is lots of fun!
