Hopefully heading to the hills
Since it has been so cold and snowy lately the only thing to do is ski....there have been plenty of stories over the past couple of weeks....Mrs. Hess getting her downhill cherry popped then getting dropped by the lady who ran 12 miles earlier that day. The funniest thing was the lady was like " is that your friends first time in the hills?" There are some really good skiers at Indy Oaks and except for the downhills I've been able to ski pretty well so I am thinking about racing Hanson Hills this upcoming weekend. DC sounds like he is in and maybe with some coaxing the Rev will make an appearance......The Ace really wants to get Cross Crazy to go as he apparently has been training and is looking forward to the upcoming cross season....Well that is all for today's update..Gotta go get some skiing in..TC

HH tails are in great shape, a little warm-up this week to firm them up, should be a fast 30k.
The Birkie is this week so the field may be a little thin.
The HH tRails are in great shape too.
What is the Birkie?
The north American Birkebeiner, the largest ski race in North America. Think a snowy Boston Marathon. Also the unofficial marathon national championships.
About 9,000 skiers covering 51k for the Birkie or 23k for the Korte.

You should plan on doing it at least once, it really is an epic. You will need to race at least one marathon before so you can get a wave better than ten or eleven. Your time from the Vasa or Noquemenon will get you seeded somewhere in the waves 4-6, assuming a reasonable mid-pack placing.
The race starts at Telemark lodge and finishes in downtown Hayward, the reverse of the Chequamegon MTB race.
