Northern Roll
roller ski events
It’s the
second year the series has been held, with this year Tyneside Loipers adding to
the three clubs which organised last year’s inaugural series.
The dates
and locations are:
- Yorkshire
Dales XC - Sunday June, York
- Manchester XC - Saturday 1 July, Preston
- Lakeland
XC - Sunday 6 August, Lancaster
- Tyneside
Loipers - Sunday 3 September (provisional), Hetton le Hole, Co. Durham
These dates
should be regarded as social events, rather than super-competitive races. Experienced skiers will obviously want to ski
as many laps as possible. For newer, less experienced skiers, the challenge
will be to see how long you can ski for, and then try to do a little better at
the next event. You don’t even have to
ski continuously, but take a break if you need it.
Any type of
roller ski may be used, as well as any style of skiing, skate or classic.
Safety, however, is paramount. All skiers must wear a helmet and eye protection
(safety/cycle/sunglasses). Knee and elbow pads may be worn if wished.
Further
details of each event will be announced nearer the time. We hope to see as many
skiers as possible taking part.
