Nick called me this morning (the race director), pretty much as a courtesy call to get in touch. Basically said that unfortunately it won't be possible to fit in the skating this year due to timing. Their entries are increasing and things would just be too tight to fit it in.
A pity, but I wasn't actually expecting it to come through anyway since we never really pushed it going forward from our side.
On another note, some of you might have seen the email from them regarding their new Cycling race.

The Etape Caledonia will break new ground in the UK as the first-ever timed mass participation cycling event on closed roads. Scheduled for Sunday June 24th 2007, the event will appeal to road racers and cycling enthusiasts, but will also be accessible to the fast-increasing audiences entering triathlons and duathlons across the UK. The event will be promoted and staged by a new division of Quintus Group, who also stage the London Triathlon, The Blenheim Triathlon and The London Duathlon.
Start & Finish Location Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire, PH16 5BX
With two distances available the event caters for all ability levels:
Challenge Course Distance - 134 km / 83 miles. Total Ascent 2,078m
Intermediate Course Distance - 45 km / 28 miles. Total Ascent 964m

That's in Scotland btw.
What a pity I won't be around!! Looks like helluva fun. It's the weekend of Sursee. |

| It was a nice route. The surface was a bit questionable though. |

Nah. The surface was excellent. It's what was on the surface that was not so good.  |
