Itinerary:

We will meet at the ferry dock for the Toronto Island Park, take the next ferry to the island, then go skating on the paved, car-free, level paths.

We'll skate from Ward's Island to Hanlan's Point... and then back again. In total, we'll do about 12 kilometres. (Or, we'll just keep going, and do as much as we can before it gets really dark!)

This is an evening skate for all levels! If we find that members of the group are moving at very different paces, we'll split the group, and meet up again when done.

Notes:
1. Rentals will not be arranged for this trip. Please bring your own inline skates, or make sure that you can borrow someone else's in order to participate.
2. It's likely that there will be some falls on this trip. Helmets are mandatory for this event. Please bring a helmet, and be prepared to wear your helmet the whole time that we are skating. Without a helmet, you will not be able to participate in this event. Knee pads, elbow pads, and wristguards are also recommended unless you're an expert skater.
3. Please arrive at the ferry docks promptly at 6:00 -- we'll be on the next ferry, so if you are late, you will literally miss the boat!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This trip is weather dependent! The trip will be cancelled if it is raining, as the paths will be wet and slippery, which is neither safe nor ideal for our inline skate event. If you sign up for this event, please do check your e-mail on Wednesday evening for final confirmation of the trip.
