Long rollerski (skate style) from Lyon to the Grand Parc Miribel Jonage. The Promenade Parc de Miribel is a bit rough in places with some tree roots and also quite narrow but generally flat.

Made it onto the strava leader boards thanks to skate skis. Can probably go a bit higher but there are some fast guys in Lyon. More fun this week as I took a more varied route around.

I decided to tackle the Tete d'Or  park on skate rollerskis. You feel the roughness of the surface a lot more on skate wheels. About a third of the circuit is a bit rough.

Second trip to the Tete d'Or park. Not many people on a Thursday afternoon, just a few nasty dags who don't like rollerskiers but are ok with bikes and runners.

I wanted to check out Lyon's Golden Head park to see what the surface is like for rollerskiing.

Supposed to be an easy session but ended up a lot in zone 3/4 anyway.

Spent an hour doing some classic ski diagonal stride balance and stability exercises. The principal aim is to be balanced on the front of the kick ski (front wheel) at the end of the push phase.

Got my classic rollerskis out for a change and went on a long but thankfully shady and early ski.

A slight variant on the Superloop, this time going straight from work which adds around 5km. Arms were a bit tired at the end with nearly 20k at lunch. I also took in the Isle d'Amour bridge.

Back to largely double poling in an anticlockwise loop. Having recently done quite a bit of skating with no poles balance is definitely better. Not too many people as it is August.
