X-Country Ski Race

Is cross-country skiing a manly activity? Here's what our organizer has to say:

"X-Skiing is only accessible to the manliest of men.  My friends, if it was possible for a two pieces of fiberglass-reinforced plastic to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, these sporting goods would!  It is just that manly.

These babies were never intended to parade to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. They’re not meant to glide you to yoga class or Bed Bath and Beyond.  No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of weeknight activity you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now.  Most X-skiers have been to hell and back, twice, and have the scars to prove it.  So, if you can't handle being seen on a pair of biblical, fire breathing, dragon slaying X-Skis, move on.

Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then join us in what is going to be the biggest and fastest X-Skiing race Ottawa has ever seen."
