That's one of the definite perks of living in this part of the country, although it has been a few years since I've been on the canal. When it is open, you see lots of office workers walking downtown with their skates over their shoulder. On a nice day, I bet that's a fantastic way to commute.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Thanked: 552When I first moved to eastern Ontario, my then fiancée took me for a skate on the Rideau Canal. It had been a while since I was on skates and I was feeling a bit unsteady when I heard this whooshing sound coming behind me. It was the full Ottawa Senators hockey team skating the canal in single file from end to end and back again. You can’t appreciate how fast those pros can skate until you feel the wind of their passage. Fortunately, not one of them had the urge to body check the old coot trying to stay upright.

I know what you mean. When you see it on TV or even up in the stands you just can't appreciate the speed that they travel. I took the family to a Panthers @ Lightning game and sat a couple of rows from the ice. They move so fast it's shocking. They can go close to 30 mph. I can only imagine having them all blasting past like that
