LOW-WALKS IN OTTAWA WHILE ATTENDING THE ELLIS EDGE MASTERS CAMP

Many thanks to Kathy Hunt who sent the following story and photos of her trip to Ottawa to participate in the Ellis Edge Masters Camp during August 6 to 9, 2009 -

Hello Speed Skaters!

While attending the Ellis Edge Master’s Speed Skating camp in Ottawa, we went for an awesomely fun bike ride one morning. In addition to having a great time, the photo-series “Low walks in Ottawa” was born - travel adventures as seen from the perspective of speed skaters. Actually, now it has broken lose and become “Low Walks around the World”. Rosie promises to send new additions when she goes to Australia!

The fun doesn’t stop with the low walks – our 30 km bike ride around Ottawa and other good times are told in another photo-email.

The fun begins at Hog’s Back in Ottawa, with one of our biking groups: Sandy R, Patti, Kathy, Sandy F, Jane, John.

Gene adds the parliamentary flavour to his low walk. Count on Gene to find the best spot!

‘Bye to Ottawa for now!
