Dear Inga,
We've launched our new website
with many new services, like the mileage club,
an interactive activity calendar, discussion forum and
all the latest
news and updates.
On a Roll is evolving right along: a new look,
new publishing schedule (every 2 weeks). What's not
changing is the editorial mix, because you've told us
you like the expert articles, news and event updates
and skater stories.

See you at P8 in Gatineau Park
We're good-to-go for another scenic season of
skating on our 3.5 km route. It's a club favourite,
and unless you plan to outskate the
mosquitos and black flies bring bug repellent

Wednesday night fitness skates
|
|
May 10 - Plage Moussette
May 17 - Ottawa River
Turn hump-day into a fitness social night. Everyone
at every level is welcome. Various speed and fitness
bunnies will lead groups on a variety of pathway
routes taking advantage of the region's 174 km of
paved paths. Chances are pretty good that most
routes will end up at a patio or pub for a post-skate
cool-down and some good times with skater friends.

Cut off time extended to 70 minutes
It's official: this year skaters will have 70 minutes
(not 60) to complete the first lap (21 k) of the
marathon. So if you are on the fence because of the
cut off time, take another look at the marathon.

Straight talk on carbohydrates by Beth Mansfield
|
|
Kenyan runners like to say: You must eat to train and race hard - not to get skinny
Athletes who are “watching their carbs” may end up
feeling tired and drained in no time. This disappears
rather rapidly when they begin to stock up on
carbohydrate-rich foods. While carbohydrates
are every athlete’s best energy foods this does not
mean slurping away on soft drinks, stuffing in plates
of pasta or wolfing down middle of the night brownies
with ice cream.
