Preliminary information about our 2020 tuition sessions is now available.
A late addition to our calendar for LRNSC members is this twilight tour of Richmond Park with mince pies and gluhwein. You need to be able to roller ski at an easy pace for an hour with breaks over unfamiliar terrain so it's not suitable for beginners but you can cycle if you wish. See all the details of this tour.
Good weather made for an excellent tour and great views over London
