If the folks who still want to know, the Canal ice is fair to poor around Dow's Lake. Lots of bumps of various sizes, lots of cracks, and getting soft.

Glad I came to say I did.
What a great season!

Screenshot of a Strava record showing 17 km skated with an average speed of 27.1 km/h and a top speed of 98 km/h. That’s right, eat it.

It did feel kinda quick, but didn’t realize I hit 98 km/h on @rideaucanalskate.bsky.social. Gonna be hard to improve on. #OttSkate

#ottskate conditions report!

The ice is getting pretty brittle with the volume of skaters out there today.
Fifth to Bank is good, Bank to Bronson is fair, Dow's Lake to Carleton is mostly good.

Today was pretty much a perfect winter day, complete with Digby hellos!

Anyone got blades on the ice on Dow's thru to Bank St?
Ice is not rated well, so I'm debating where to concentrate my skating today.
