Where to skate roller ski in or near Palo Alto, CA?

I got these routes on Stanford campus a while ago from a local. I
still have not tried them out myself.



There are basically three loops, with lots of little variants you can
add.

1) Mayfield...

San Fran Bay Area rollerski group?

Was wondering if there would be enough interest from Bay Area roller-
skiers to get together to train. I see misc folks out on Canada Rd
most Sundays. Would enjoy skiing with more folks.

light boot covers to protect boots while learning to roller ski

- Falling is big but minor concern (hopefully not happening a lot).
Will scuff up the boots.

My personal bias would be to go get some used or beater ski boots to

Roller Ski Pole Grip with Toko Gloves (unpadded suede) versus Padded Bike Gloves

I have not had a lot of durability success with the Toko or Swix
rollerski gloves. They just fall apart somewhat quickly (crashes
probably helped too but ...).

Nordic Combined Lahti

I did not tape it unfortunately.

I know there are fans and non-fans of WCSN out there. But I think it
would be worthwhile for more of the US xc ski community that is
interested in watching these...

What's going on with Bjorgen?

Think you need to be a lot more specific about a training plan when

Sorry Don. I just checked my client. It seems the original tracker
used for the torrents was no longer active, thus distributed tracker
kicked in (which makes it harder for folks to get the files). I...

video of Kikkan Randall head motions

Just so it is clear, the DVD is talking about V1 / steep hills and 60
degree rotation max _observed_. Flatter terrain results in much smaller
angles (IE 5 degrees over flats). In addition, the...

and all peers. So...
