I spend most of my time skating at Shiny Rink, where my coach is. It's newer and nice and there are a lot of competitive skaters there, and I know people there. It's 12 miles from my house. I occasionally (1-2 times a month) skate at a closer rink (only 4 miles from my house); it's not as shiny but sometimes it's a better match time-wise, plus I will be testing there in December.
Club-wise, though, I'm still a member of my old club back home, for a number of reasons -- 1) it's where my heart is, 2) they need the support, 3) I can skate on club ice when I'm home visiting.
