Twelve consecutive PTF fields, which covered an area of 87 deg$^2$ in the ecliptic plane, were observed in $R$ band with a cadence of $\\sim$20 min during February 15--18, 2013. We detected 2500 known asteroids with a diameter range of 0.5 km $\\leq D \\leq$ 200 km. Of these, 313 objects had highly reliable rotation periods and exhibited the \"spin barrier\" at $\\sim2$ hours. In contrast to the flat spin rate distribution of the asteroids with 3 km $\\leq D \\leq$ 15 km shown by Pravec et al.
