A Little Blog About a Little-Known Sport

I am not a professional athlete. However, I have been involved in endurance sports for almost 20 years: cycling, cross country skiing, triathlons, etc. etc. etc. As part of my training for skiing, I employ roller skiing--of which there seems to be a dearth of information to be found on the internet.

So, the information you will find here is based on experience and my own research, with links to sites relevant to the strange and niche world of roller skiing.

Why Write About Rollerskiing?

Roller skiing is very much a niche market, and a little-participated in sport--even here in Minnesota & the Midwest, where many live for the cold. But, it is great prep for cross county skiing, though some may disagree. However, aside from a few training plans and some places to buy equipment, there is not much written about it. This is a problem. Why? Because there is no place to learn about other peoples' experiences with this sport.

If you are like me, you like to cross train. And, you like to experiment--both in training and with your equipment. However, you like to also learn from other peoples' failed experiments. This is where this blog comes in.

 I have been roller skiing for about 15 years now; in the past 5, I have done a lot of tinkering with equipment and toying around with various set ups. So, if you are new to roller skiing, want to try something new with your equipment, or just want to laugh at my idiocy: welcome to The Roller Skiing Blog.
