An interesting article, Nibble. Guess what?...I can't even skate:) I used to do a lot of Nordic skiing a few years ago, but never did learn how to use the blades.
done that, nibble, been on the Rideau, fun that it is, loads of drinks and food stalls as you skate up it. What a great idea for Edmonton though - head for Toronto and you would probably be done for drink in charge of a skate....Ontario has had some weird booze rules in the past.
