“Casey Jones you better watch your speed.†— Grateful Dead
It’s the season for long rollerskiing trips. Duluth, MN rocks for that since we’re at the northern terminus of the Willard Munger Trail. 72 miles of paved trail on an old railroad bed. I like to start from the trailhead parking lot that’s behind the Munger Inn, west side of town. Appropriately, the first thing you do out of the lot is sidestep across some railroad tracks. The other day I took a deep breath, hacked the old HR monitor/watch, started the GPS (for grins), smiled at the “14 miles to Carlton†sign and put the coals to her.
 there are no cars and B) everybody’s there to have fun. Only one other rollerskier and they were doing the marathon DP act. I did that penance earlier in the week, so now it’s just time for some volume skating. I actually feel like I’m skiing. </p>
<p>There’s hope for our sport by the way when every single kid under ten years old (and there were lots) said, “Cool!†as I rolled by. We need to harness these kids before they join the obesity trend.<br />
