If you're looking for cross country skiing weeks in Norway here are two holidays in March 2022 that the we recommend - Dalseter from 5-12/3 and Snowsport England's Nordic skills week at Nordseter from 20-27/3.
Register your interest as soon as possible, and for the Snowsport England week before the end of November.
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 18:54 You can see results from our first classic 2 lap time trial that was held at Sunday's Club session - well done to Szymon Orlowski who again recorded the fastest time.
Our next Club session is on 7 November and will include a classic time trial that will be run anti-clockwise - will this affect the results or do wind direction and speed have a bigger influence? These time trials are fun races that give participants a record of their progress [hopefully says the writer!] and practice at racing, much like Parkrun but with an individual start. Book your place now.
