Nipissing professor Ken Stange is set to release his new book, Going Home: Cycling though the heart of America, at Gulliver’s Bookstore in downtown North Bay on February 7.

With the Nipissing Lakers Nordic Ski team back on Canadian soil after competing in the University Winter Games in Italy, the long trip home and some time off gave them a chance to look back and reflect on the games. Head coach Toivo Koivukoski and skiers Jordan Cascagnette, Thomsen D’Hont and Kajsa Heyes all took part in the event, which brought together some of the best athletes in the world.
