The last game of the season for Peterborough Roller Derby at Millbrook Arena.It’s always a good day when you get to be the truck with the estimable 3 Beers – the most travelled referee – in southern Ontario. A WFTDA Officiating Clinic brought many of the persuasion to the Toronto Roller Derby hosted clinic. Hence 3 Beers and T-Ref in town then back to Millbrook which is outside of Peterborough to hold the only bout in any part of Ontario that weekend./.,.. more to come

12 hours to Peterborough – a derby pooom

I need a derby drink of something mighty and strong

For ahead is a Peterborough journey long.

Longer still is the trip for Kingston coming in to right the side of the track wrong

Saturday a day after Friday

be there all dare to off square

no fate but what we skate

11th august is the date

–

 

It’s Saturday morning and some quicker thoughts that require quicker actions.

The day starts on a wet note as it is pouring outside. Need to catch a few more zzz.

Wake up. The newspaper is soaked, but the sun has started to come out. This is Derby day.

Battle of two rogue teams at Battle of Rogue Jam. Jamazons from Peterborough welcome the ever-constantly on the road Kingston Derby Girls in the guise of Rogue Warriors.

Stuffing the last of the camera gear and assorted wiring and cords into luggage and making the trek onto the TTC subway system soon.

Looming ahead is the dreaded voyage back from the middle of nowhere – a two hour bus ride [more or less of more] from Peterborough to Oshawa then another hour back to Toronto, then the hour back to home sweet home. Take the long way home.

In between all the Derby clash and fun to be won.

On the roll with Peterborough

Lucid Lou has rolled with Toronto Roller Derby since Derby began to seep into the consciousness of the city and started its first season in 2007. Wearing the distinctive #12:34 Lucid Lou has been a huge part of the Death Track Dolls wall as pivot and blocker. Now she is spreading the sport to another part of the province beyond.
