The 1st Inline Marathon in China Beijing

[linche...@gmail.com]

The inline marathon is really new for the skaters in China. Recently, they figured out an inline skate marathon in Beijing. Due to time and long travel, I don't think we can go to that marathon, except for Tom G, who may have chance to try.

If there was a road to Beijing, Bob would be the person to drive there for this Marathon.

Anyway, here is some infor:
