So what's on tap for fall? Be sure to get Charles Butler's Physics on Ice DVD's Volume II and III coming out this September. This will be perfect to get you back on the ice this season with some clean skills and fresh approaches at executing them. Last month we reviewed his first, Volume 1 and it was awesome!

We are also scheduled to join a cycling club this fall. We've made fantastic progress this year and now cycle nearly everywhere for sports, leisurely rides and errands. As the prices keep rising at the pumps, we are seeing more and more of our neighbors joining us out on the road. The good thing about joining a touring society though is that you learn from the best how to ride in a pace line, proper shifting technique and cycling form. They also do road safety education which is very important.
So you think you're ready to go back to the ice rink? If you've incorporated some of our cross training suggestions this season plus gone to summer ice skating school with Charles Butler, you WILL BE ready!
