Citizen-cyclists, Why not give speedskating a try? Here's your chance to get in on a fast, fun and family oriented sport! The Mountainview Speedskating Club has skaters from age 7 to 60+. There are a couple of special dates to note: Youth Speedskate Jam, November 13th from 1:00pm-2:45pm (ages 7-13) for only $5.00 Teen Speedskate Jam, November 20th from 1:00-2:45pm (ages 14 & up) for only $5.00 Try Speedskating for only $10.00 a session thru November 20th. For more details check out: http://www.mountainviewspeedskating.org/events/ Reasons why YOU should speedskate: 1) Canadian speedskaters outnumber Americans by 5 to 1 2) You need to continue the interval workouts after cyclocross season is over. 3) Speedskates aren't as theft worthy as bicycles :) 4) It's a full-body aerobic workout. Give some neglected muscles some much needed conditioning. 5) It's fun to watch 6) Good technique is graceful and almost balletic in execution 7) Kids have a blast! 8) Participate (and possibly win) up to 4 or more races in a day! 9) A good pair of speedskates are a LOT cheaper than a good race bike. 10) Speedskaters are generally fun to be around :) Regards, Joseph 'Ice is Nice' Boquiren jboqu-@comcast.net |
