June 2 - Tour Ottawa
New for 2007 OISC has
created the spring Tour Ottawa, so skaters can
enjoy blissfully smooth recreational paths, great
National Capital scenery, and help The Ottawa
FoodBank all at the same time. Skaters can pick
from the 12k, 33k or 52 k tour options ... and join the
apres-tour social at the Royal Oak on Colonel By Drive
at Pretoria Bridge. |
|
Keeping up with the
scene The best way to stay
in touch with Ottawa and region inline happenings is our
online forum. Lurk or get in on the
conversation. Check out Mike's 200k proposal. Or pics from the scenic Aylmer path by Sylvia. Catch
race reports as they are posted - like this one from the
recent Metrodome Inline
Marathon |
