Cross Country Ski Headquarters wins another Michigan Cup! Good job getting your skiers out, Headquarters!
A dozen of us Team Nordic Ski Racers's showed up at the huge Kensington park near Detroit this Sat. Most of us did a 2-hour rollerski hammerfest. Some old-fart, tough-dog bike racers are part of the group and it was all their fault what happened.
The Copper Country Ski Tigers have successfully recruited a nucleus of 15 skiers to form a competitive team for Middle and High School age young adults. In order to prevent sticker shock from dampening the excitement of the kids and their parents, we are determined to build an inventory of equipment for these budding athletes. You can help by donating your used equipment.
The second (Sunday Nov 9) and third (Sunday Dec 7) races in the '1st Annual Team NordicSkiRacer.Com Fall Duathlon Series' will start at 10:00am instead of 9:00am as previously announced.
We'll be doing technique videotaping at Kensington Metropark this Saturday after our normal distance rollerski. All invited.
A few Team NordicSkiRacer.com members finishing up their rollerski session at Kensington Metropark. (OK, Mr. McGregor is not a member - yet, but we're hoping he joins...). The videos are a little over-exposed - I'm not sure why., , ,
Ya, it's yucky outside. With the end of Daylight Savings Time this past weekend, it's pretty much dark when I get out of work now. And tonight it's raining and not particularly warm. But it's a perfect night to train.,
With temps in the forties, the wind from WNW, and V2 Aeros the roller of choice for the day...
