Former Michigan Cup racer and current member of the Bridger Ski Foundation Pro Team Reid Goble has had a great couple weeks. First, he won the Minneapolis SuperTour race. Then he won a gold medal serving as a guide in the Paralympics. Finally, he's been chosen to race in the Men's 10km interval start classic race (3/20) at the FIS World Cup Finals in Lake Placid NY. Way to go Reid!

At the altitude of around 1200-1300m, the athletes will compete in the Nordic Ski Center "Azzurri d'Italia" which will host its first ever Cross-Country World Cup event.
An alternative to the Casco Nordic Eyewear is Salice's Nordic Shield. I've had an opportunity to train and race in a pair for the past three weeks and thought I provide a review of these value leaders.

One reason I like coaching is the effort in the work I see the athletes put in. I think this is also a big reason people who like to watch and follow these sorts of sports like them.

This race was my introduction to the MI Cup racing series. Rather than race, I decided to take pictures and be race support for my teammates. It was fun to experience the other side of racing... Enjoy!
