Hi guys, how is your winter skating going?
I have got snow all month long and its -18 c in Korea but having
3 time training per week with 50 crazy skaters Smile

Btw, I am going to Holland soon. So I am looking for any track or
place to skate. Has anyone been nice place there?
Little tip would be much appreciated.


P.S. Andy, are you there ??

www.flevonice.nl  Very Happy  Worlds longest ice track, 5 km. On 19 February they organise a 200 km tour. Track record is 6.51 hours.  
Link for the tour: http://www.flevonice.nl/pagina/35/schaatstoertocht.html

Or one of the (mostly) indoor ice rinks. http://www.mylaps.com/practice/

If you are going to Amsterdam; Vondel Park is full of great surfaces and circuits.

Hey Alan! Have they added some stuff in recent years.  When I was there last time, I wouldn't have thought the park was suitable for speed-skating?

Well obviously the circuits are the same; but the whole park has been resurfaced in the last two years and personally I love skating there. Smile
