Rockcliffe Parkway Update

The club held a first unofficial practice last Thursday on the Parkway.

The consensus: WOW. The NCC is doing an amazing job repaving it! From about Kaymar Rd entrance (about 2.7 km east of the Aviation Museum) to the bridge at St Joseph Blvd, ie about 5.5 km will be brand new, smooth pavement. Check the NCC's interactive map for a view of the location.

We're thinking of making it a much bigger part of our activities from here on.

We've spoken with the NCC project manager and they tell us that it's going to reopen before Sunday Bikedays finish. In fact, it looks like they are on target for later this week - stay tuned!

K2-fun/fit Wednesdays

The K2 Fun-Fit Wednesday Social Skates focus is mostly recreational skating as a way to enjoy the outdoors and adopt a more active lifestyle - speedy skaters are welcome, of course. Enjoy the a couple of hours of skating and then refuel with us at a local restaurant or pub. All the info and weekly starting points.

OISC is a non-profit club run by skaters for skaters. We offer programming for recreational, fitness, speed skaters as well as those interested in racing track or road. Now in our seventh year, we keep growing and evolving. Join us for social skating or training and make yourself at home!

See you on the skating trails,
