Hi, ClickIn.
Welcome to TE and welcome to the Mid-Atlantic area forum!
I cross-country ski - mainly "classic" style in track stuff...no skating or back-country, really. I don't do much of it since I've moved to MD....only when they don't plow my streets after a (very rare) big snow. But now we have a Montogomery County Police officer in the neighborhood, and we seem to get the plows a lot more quickly than we used to! :rolleyes:;) I'm not too available mid-week, tho. Perhaps we can get you to join us on a local ride some day.
P.S. RE: the kayak in my above post....my DH may be joining us after all.
