BE SAFE!

All of you have heard of the tragedy of Willie Neal earlier this summer. We want to take this time to remind you that although there is nothing that can ensure your safety when rollerskiing there are several steps that can be taken. Key among them are to wear a helmet and a reflective vest as well as choose good times to train, good roads to train on and others.

These two things can help a great deal and will be required for anyone who wants to rollerski with our team this fall. Most of you have helmets for biking, which work great for rollerskiing. If you don't remember that we are sponsored by Rudy Project so you have access to helmets at a great deal.

Thanks to L.L. Bean all nordic skiers now have the possibility to purchase a reflective vest at cost. They are offering a wonderful training vest (usually $25) for $10! It's a wonderful opportunity to get a quality vest for a more than reasonable price. Please buy one of these vests before your return in the fall so we can all be safe on the roads.
