From Peri Kinder in the Summer 2009 Racing Blade:

Finally, social media is all the rage and USS will launch the "Up To Speed" page on the website in August so members can post photos, videos, comments or news stories dealing with all things speedskating! It should be a fun, interactive place where speedskaters can share their psssion for this exciting sport.

Kudos! If anyone sees that this page is up and running, please let us know!

Three cheers again for Peri using the latest technology to keep us informed and current!
