The
2000 PIR Skating Season was a Success! The skate race season at PIR went
from May until September this year, thanks to good weather.
Check Skate Schedule for day and
time
We had many new faces out this year(yeah!), skaters came from the east coast, California, and Canada. We had every age group there, from juniors to masters. We had some awesome skaters leave the area for job reasons Celynn K., Derik, we will miss them very much.
After
some of the races we would have BarbeQs, or we would me at the Bridgeport
to celebrate.
Hope to see you all(fitness skaters and speed skaters) out there
next year.
