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:

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
