Rhein-Main Skate-Challenge, 74 km, Frankfurt a/M, 1 May 2008

I had registered for the Rhein-Main Skate-Challenge but caught a cold so I could not
participate. It felt really hard to only be a spectator.

The roads were closed for the 47th "Rund um den Henninger-Turm" bike race and a
part of the course was used for the skate competition.

For the skaters the race starts in the countryside, passes through the city center
of Frankfurt a/M and goes back to the country side.
