Skiing on Sidewalks

Rollerskiing: the act of hurdling yourself down a rock-strewn sidewalk in a rain storm on 2-foot long skis with wheels on the bottom and no brakes. Notable dangers include hitting pebbles, tripping on cracks in the pavement, being ambushed by dogs on leashes, and skinned knees. Notable benefits include having the most fun on the bike path you will ever have, learning how to ski, and getting funny looks from cars driving by.

Yesterday, a rollerskiing workout just south of Carbondale. What a life we lead. Right now, I'm looking out the window and snow clouds have wrapped up Sopris. Perhaps we shall soon get to try out our REAL skis.

Things are going awesome. A huge thanks to the kids who continue to believe in the plan despite being confined to dirt and pavement.

Love it!
