This one takes place only once in so many years as the ice has to be real strong. In milder winters there are smaller tours, organised all over the country and medals given for the different distances you choose. Hot chocolate and green pea soup and sandwiches along the route.
(My longest:60 miles,I never did the Grand.)But when the Grand Tour is on ,the whole country goes nuts and TV covers from 5 AM till midnight.
Happy to read that Canadians understand the magic!
Eyes on the horizon and Twilight on a frozen lake.(Dylan)
In prelapsarian days, before the warming-up times, we had better winters. Last one:1997
