Diane Bloom is the winner of the 2014 Skike Australia Victorian Ski Chase grand prize of a pair of v07 PLUS Skikes. The prize was drawn on Saturday 25 October at the Ski Cross Country Victoria meeting, under the supervision of the SXCV committee.

This is the third year that Skike Australia has sponsored the Victorian Ski Chase which is designed to encourage and increase participation in cross country ski racing. Eligibility is achieved by entering at least one of the designated citizen races and then registering for free in the Ski Chase.

Thank you to skikers Kevin Tory and Andrew Walker who run the Victorian Ski Chase on behalf of SXCV.

Congratulations Di, we hope you will enjoy your Skikes as much as the rest of us.

It is time to get those skikes out, pump up the tyres and hit the trails. The snow has melted and Spring is now with us.

In Melbourne we have been enjoying pleasant Spring weather for the past couple of weekends so it is time to restart regular group skiking from 7.30am and 10am. If you are in Melbourne, come join in the fun and enjoy the support and pleasure of journeying with other skikers, exploring trails and deciding which way will we go today, out from and around Westerfolds Park Templestowe. We are also holding regular introductory demo sessions for Newbies. If you would like to join us, email Len for further details.

Graham Leary is available to assist beginners or advanced beginners at Jells Park in Waverley, starting around 7.30am on Saturdays. Graham reports that the trails are less intimidating than at Westerfolds and there is a good flat packed earth trail that enables you to concentrate on technique without picking up speed. There is also the added advantage of a coffee shop and many kilometres of paths linking to Jells Park from the Eastlink bike trail.

Castlemaine skikers are meeting at 10am on Tuesdays and Marie is happy to meet with others for possible weekend sessions too.

Jackie Nowell is keen to meet with other interested skikers anywhere along the west coast of Victoria from Geelong to Portland.

In Brisbane, Adam Dunn leads a growing group of skikers for a ride on most weekends.

John Joyce in Sydney will also start meeting other skikers for a ride from this weekend onwards.

Canberra skikers meet at Stomlo Forest Park Criterium Circuit regularly. .

There are now quite a number of skikers in Perth and we are keen to also help them meet, support each other and enjoy skiking.

If you would like to join any of these groups or start a regular skiking group of your own, please let us know so we can put you in touch.
