== Event dates == | |||
* Unless exceptions, events open automatically 1 week prior to the date and are then announced. | |||
* Any event can change date, location and type prior to announcement. | |||
* Any event changes after announcement will have a second announcement by email. | |||
* If it rains, no event will be done on wet surfaces and the event will change the date. | |||
* There are events that will specifically be done online and everyone should attend. | |||
* Typically there are no repeated locations for an event, unless the location is exceptional. | |||
== Skill requirements == | |||
At all times, included but not limited to skill, the skater must to comply with [[agreement waiver and release of liability]]. | |||
* On trail events the skater is expected to be able to maintain a specified average speed, to keep up with the group and not be left behind. | |||
* Typically an intermediate skater is expected to maintain a speed above 10 km/h, ranging from 10 km/h to 15 km/h and the advanced skater above 15 km/h. | |||
* Speed skaters are expected to maintain and go above 15 km/h. Ideally maintaining an average of 20 km/h. | |||

Simply put, in order for a small wheel maintain the same speed as a bigger wheel, a smaller wheel needs do more spin rotations than a bigger wheel. The skater's leg push, muscle and endurance will determine the amount of spin rotations that the skater will be able to produce. | Simply put, in order for a small wheel maintain the same speed as a bigger wheel, a smaller wheel needs do more spin rotations than a bigger wheel.
