Offenbacher Inline-Stadtlauf 15 June 2003

As I visited Frankfurt a/M (Germany) I was told that there was an inline race in the neighboring town Offenbach so I went there. It was a small but nice race. Ca 60 participants.

Thanks to Heike Milk, Michael Milk and Stefan Klug for allowing me to use their photos.

The race was 18 km. A 3 km part of a highway had been closed for
traffic and we skated it forth and back three times.

Turningpoint. We had to slow down considerably at the turningpoints since it was quite narrow.
