new roller ski route

I discovered a new roller ski route close to my house today. I was even able to ski there from home! It’s in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul, nestled between Hwy 280 and Como Ave. John Swain mentioned that he grew up there and would roller ski in the neighborhood so I thought I would check it out. It’s a small area with little traffic and good terrain so it will be a nice place to do some intervals. There are a few hills that you can’t go down, and I wouldn’t recommend skiing there if you aren’t really comfortable on skis because there are plenty of intersections to navigate, but it was fine for me. I’ll have to work out the best route for an interval, but I think it has great potential.
