Slip sliding away#

By 5pm Friday the ground was wet from rain during the afternoon, so we cancelled - once the sun has gone down it takes forever for the roads to dry out.

Then we went skating anyway, just because we could. It was, indeed, still too slippery at 8 to take the general public out in (and it started raining again at about 9:30) so though I say it myself a good call, but a few of us (started with 20 or so, finished with three people) attacked the planned route with slightly more than normal Friday briskness and our bearings didn't thank us for it afterwards. I actually managed to get water inside my boot while t-stopping, from the spray from the dragging foot. No stacks, though, and fun was had by all.
