I have skied Classical V2 roller skis through out the State of Wisconsin . My favorite places include the Holy Hill area just outside Milwaukee, the back roads of Waukesha County, the Southern Kettle Moraine area, Greenbush near Sheboygan, Harrison Hills near Rhinelander, the Blue Mounds area southwest of Madison, and the Baraboo Bluffs between Portage and Baraboo. If anybody wants specific information about roads or would like to join one of our several roller ski groups, they can contact me at my e-mail address, mandli@execpc.com

By the way, V2 roller skis are the best training tool for becoming a powerful diagonal strider. After twenty years of roller skiing I have found none better. Michael J. Mandli

MOOSE Lake Road, Hayward: My favorite roller ski area is Moose Lake Road east of Hayward, between Hwy. A and S. Ten miles and good asphalt, rolling hills some fairly steep. Hard workout.

La Crosse: The Early Morning Anaerobic Group ( emag ) endorses the following route. Up Bliss road (Granddad's Bluff ) across the ridge on F to FO. Down FO with 3 to 4 clicks on the speed reducers on the steep section. Release the reducers and roll to the intersection of FO and OA. Up the long hill for a nice anaerobic challenge. Right on 33 ( little traffic in early am ). Back across the ridge on F, down Bliss and home. Enjoy challenging V1 and some V2 hills. All techniques on the rollers, and double pole down the big hills to maintain your heart rate in a zone 3. James Mannion
