I like to watch. I'm not much of a skater myself, I only have ice-hockey skates.
There will be a tour (much smaller, called the 11-villages-tour) in my province on Sunday. And we'll go out and look and cheer the skaters on.
The 11-city tour is sadly called off, due to the frost not continuing. The temperature was way too high before it finally started freezing (we got a 20 to 30 degrees Celcius temperature drop within the week), so the water took longer to freeze over. Sad... This was the closest we've been to a tour in a lot of years!
