FROM ULF HAASE:
It was a great feeling to skate in Palmyra, surrounded by
roman ruins and colonnades. People were very friendly; cheering,
applauding and racing against me with mopeds,
tractors and a tuc-tuc"

FROM ULF HAASE:
"Parts of the desert road has good asphalt and in
January it is not to hot to skate. There was not much traffic
on that road but if you want to skate here you must have a
car driving behind you to avoid being hit by the large
trucks heading for Baghdad."

FROM ULF HAASE:
"I skated this road in Palmyra many times.
Later I saw that the route could have been extended
by skating on the road going to the Palmyra Race Course
(outside the picture to the right)."
