Sounds like you're having a blast--I wish you well.
I wish we had some more level or smoother roads around here...
I'm still in the rink, but I do want to maybe later this summer try out some softer outdoor wheels on my quad skates and attempt some streets in town maybe...or a rails to trails that I can drive to if I really get the fever. Can't do outside though until I get outdoor wheels.
I can only imagine the workout you are getting outdoors on those inlines. I know it is much harder to push along on rough terrain than on a smooth rink floor!
Glad to hear you are wearing protective gear.

Here is Ruby giving 'rides' to her friends on my skate....



Unfortunately, it did not end well.....
