Well That Makes Sense ...
As I was putting on my rollerblades today, I noticed that the wheels were looking decidedly worn - the nice rounded arch with a center peak now looked decidedly bevelled down.
Hmmm...that's odd - I bought these skates new this spring - what happened?
As I was cruising through Fish Creek it dawned on me. I've been on my blades nearly daily all summer, doing distances of 15-25 km each day on the things. So I started to average it out:
5 times / week
12 weeks
15 km (I'll assume a lower average because there's also the odd week where I was only out 4 times)
60 sessions @ 15 km / session = 900 km
More or less, I've covered the distance between here and Penticton B.C. on blades. (Minus the climb over Roger's Pass - which I have to imagine would be near suicidal on the way down)
I guess those wheels have done their job.
