Our next all-wheels group rollout is today, ✨️TUESDAY 9/29✨️ at 6:30 p.m. in Mount Lookout, guest-curated by !
This route's not for the faint of heart! 💪 Embarking from Mt Lookout Tavern (3209 Linwood Avenue), we'll start with a pretty intense 300-foot elevation increase, as we head up Delta Avenue toward Observatory Avenue and climb the biggest hill in Cincinnati! Entering Ault Park the downhill will be pretty fast if you're not used to speed braking. It's a short route, so we can skate around the park for as long as we'd like. Once finished, it's nearly all downhill all the way back to the square, where we'll get Ramundo's Pizzeria and end back at Mount Lookout Tavern. Sidewalks in the neighborhood are pretty bad, so we'll be sticking mostly to the street. Linwood can get pretty busy, so please be careful if you're bringing a puppy.
This will be an advanced-level ride on paved streets & sidewalks with some hills 🤙
FREE & metered parking available near the start 🚗
Meet @ 6:30 | push @ 7
As always, all wheels & paws welcome, and the slowest rider sets the pace 🛹🛼🚲🛴⚡️🐾
Don't forget your charged headlamp/flashlight, reflective gear, and plenty of water 🔦🦺💧

📣📣📣
⏳ How long have you been skating?
I've been on some form of wheels since I was a kid, but didn't start longboarding until I was about 19.
⚙️ Tell us about your setup.
I currently ride a Sector 9 Skateboards penny board, $3 flea market roller skates, or a 1970s steel-framed Fuji.
❤️ What do you love most about riding?
The community aspect is the best. Bombing a sketchy hill with your friends, or getting help skitching up a hill from someone with an e-bike. I love how the diversity of Cincinnati brings people together.
🎉 Name a goal you have for yourself related to skating.
To stay in shape without ever having to set foot in a gym. Running on a treadmill is probably one of the most boring things I could imagine, so anything to keep from having to do that.
💬 Tell us something interesting about yourself.
Lately I've been "hobby-maxxing" by trying to embroider whilst roller skating whenever I'm not riding with a group. It's a lot of fun to combine two things I love to do, especially when you want to make art and stay active at the same time.
💡 Who/what inspires you?
I'm always inspired by anyone who isn't afraid to speak up for what they believe in. Volunteers who use their time to express themselves, or political activists who use their words. Anyone who helps or speaks for the outcasts is inspirational to me.
🌏What's your favorite place to ride?
When I went to University of Cincinnati I used to love riding around campus. Weaving in and out of people, skitching on cars to get to class on time, and the bumpy but smooth cobblestone bricks flying downhill at UC main... nostalgic.
🤔 Anything else we should know?
It's never too late to learn more about who you are as a person, and how you like to express yourself. Societal norms, the patriarchy, your high school bullies... they're all bu****it. Only you know what you like, and who you are deep down. Don't be scared to show it and follow your dreams. We only get one life.
