Munger Day 3-The reckoning
Flattened by a cold and sore throat. Luckily have skied the carlton to Duluth
section before, so I can say I've rollerskied the whole thing just not at once. Bummer. Eric "Shmo" Chandler Duluth, MN |

Munger Day 3-The reckoning
Now you still have a goal for future years.
It's great that we can have these big long-distance touring goals in the summer. Because in North America we don't get too many of them with a groomed track on snow in the winter. Other than doing lots of laps, which doesn't have the same meaning for me. A week ago I made a big loop thru five villages in the Hudson valley (Rhinebeck, Tivoli, Germantown, Elizaville, Red Hook, and back to Rhinebeck), each with a little food stop. It was a wonderful experience on nice pavement out in rolling farm country. I'll be doing it again. Like skiing 50 km on groomed snow for hot chocolate and waffles in four places near Lillehammer (Nordseter, Sjusjoen, H----, and Pellestova). But with more varieties of trees, more different kinds of food, more varieties of architecture and buildings -- and fewer airline flights to get there. I usually like to practice my skating without poles, so I figured out a way to attach my poles to my little yellow backpack so the tips pointed up in the air. Like alien antennae -- very strange when you roll into a village looking like that. I figured I'd take them off and use them when I got tired of skating with legs only -- but then I didn't.
