Here is the plan for Sunday, February 22:

Bring a friend

For the remainder of the season RCR skaters are invited to bring a friend to any practice. This is a great opportunity to try out speed skating and think about joining the club next year. There is no cost to friends.

Let Mark or Cathy know ahead of time so they can have skates ready for them.

Time to vote!

Beginning February 9th you are invited to view and vote in the 2nd annual ING Speed Skating Challenge – the search to find Canada’s best speed skating story! River City Racer Tori Spence's video was selected as one of the top 16 stories across Canada. We're so proud!

The stories are paired in a 'showdown'. The video with the most votes moves on to the next level until there are just two stories left. Then the most votes in the final showdown determines the winner. Only one vote per showdown bracket is allowed.

There is over $25,000 in prizes to be won. All it takes is your vote! And please spread the word.
