How funny is this?? I was at Chapin today with Audrey (Dick was arriving as I was finishing up and I was talking to another cyclist this morning who was skiing at Chapin) and as I practiced the Skate stroke by myself, I saw a lady skate by with a pretty smooth stride and realized quickly I was doing it Wrong. Yes, I was pushing off with one leg instead of transferring my weight to my lead ski. I did get a little better after watching her. I need lessons.
I am learning without poles too which is supposed to help. Also my Swix CT-3 poles were too long and I hope my new poles come in the morning tomorrow so I can get to Chapin by early afternoon again.
Also, my daughter is a natural at Classic. Very fun to see. She seems to enjoy it, but I know she'll have even more fun when she does it Sunday with a bunch of other kids her age!!

Ray,
Dad is trying to get me to go to Chapin too. I heard it's supposed to be 56 on Monday! The snow must be nervous.

I am going today, tomorrow and Sunday (for Hilltoppers, my daughters thang!).
Then I will be on my new/used Krietler 3" rollers or KK again next week.
A buddy and I keep discussing this 3 hour ride from E&C parking lot up to downtown then down to Akron on the path on our mountain bikes. Nice endurance ride and loads of sights to see.
are you going to the trainer rides at Bike authority on wed nights?
Robert-I am afraid not-its too far to drive home afterwards. I live in Cleveland Heights. Going to Chapin in about an hour. My wife just called and said my poles are here. Yahoo!!
