Dutch ice-skating

Ice-skating is populair over here. So if it start freezing, Dutch people already get excited If it is freezing hard, and the ice get thick enough, we hold a race. It is called Elfstedentocht. (Eleven city race) It is a race over around 200km!!! You can imagine.... 200km ice-skating!!!! Because of weather/climate change, the last race was in 1997 ?? But..... If it is possible, that you can do ice-skating, The Dutchies will do. You can make some nice pictures with windmills on the background, or on the Amsterdam canels.
