Ice Melt ERG indoor
rowing challenge

Even if you do not have experience rowing on the water, we encourage you to participate — it’s a fun way to kick off the season! Open to all ages, abilities and experience levels; individuals are invited to participate using an ergometer (rowing machine) hooked up to state-of-art software. This makes the rower feel as if they are racing against the other participants!
