End of the season for the @rideaucanalskate.bsky.social - an amazing Dec. 31st to Mar 4th! Thanks for taking such hood care of it 😍🇨🇦 #ottSkate
Looking toward the sun in the bright blue sky from across skating ice.
A person on skates on ice is silhouetted against the bright sun.
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
Skated to a show at the NAC last night 😍⛸️🚲
1️⃣ Bike to Dow's Lake
2️⃣ Skate ~7km to NAC
3️⃣ Check skates at the coat check

Gotta hand it to @ncc-ccn.gc.ca @rideaucanalskate.bsky.social for creativity: “Puck Putt” with disco lights? #OttSkate

People enjoying Rideau Canal Skateway at Fifth Ave, with concessions, and a bright blue sky.
Skaters and snow sweeping equipment share the ice on the Rideau Canal Skateway. Houses and a partly cloudy sky in the background.
A bridge, partially covered by plastic. People are skating under it. Pretty blue sky above.
A wide open section of the Rideau Canal Skateway, under blue sky dotted with white clouds. There are a few people skating in the distance. Trees line the Canal on either side.
#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!
Winter Cycling Network (and Skate) Conditions 5-6am 🚲⛸️❄️
Trillium Path: Light snow cover
Dow's Lake: Light snow cover (and skating conditions are GOOD)

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.
#ottskate
Skatetowork incoming.
