So since lulu asked me to do a pic thread, I thought I had better get to it.
Some pics from this last year in Canada both winter and summer. The winter was brutal as I haven't experienced one like this in five years. Brutally cold and icy, but I did get out a bit.
Skating on the Rideau Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. This is a pretty famous canal.. I believe it is the second longest canal in the world, and in the winter they freeze it and you can skate 7.8 kms. I have skated it both ways one time.
