Rhein-Main Skate-Challenge 2007
74 km, Frankfurt a/M, 1 May 2007
Skater and photographer Frank Räcker generously sent me these photos from the Rhein-Main Skate-Challenge (both links open in separate windows).
The roads were closed for the classic bike race "Rund um den Henninger-Turm" and a part of the course was used for the inline skate race. Lots of spectators were watching as we passed through the villages and the city of Frankfurt. A very nice event - highly recommended for 2008!

It was a 2 km uphill section at 22 - 24 km between Eppstein and Fischbach. As we reached the top we were only three skaters left. Published by courtesy of photographer Frank Räcker.
