Moscow, Russia, Hour#21+22+23 of 24skate#3

A big hello from Moscow!

My name is Barh. I am the editor of the Russian webiste for inline rollerbladers
http://www.roller.ru. and co-ordinator of the Moscow part of the global 24skate.
Thank you very much for the opportunity and the invitation to take part in this event. We were 20 skaters - not too much, but it was early in the morning (8:00) and many skater had left for St. Petersburg for a competition. In our 3 hours we skated 35kms. Our average speed was 20-25km/h, but there are many trafiic lights and we needed some rests after the long up-hill sections (Moscow is the town on seven hills :-).

You can see our skate path on this GPS track:
