Post Winter Trip

For those of you that went on the winter trip, congratulations there was a great deal of quality snow time. For the upcoming days look to skate on Saturday and Sunday, hopefully for 2 hours with some good pickups. Monday we will meet at the school at 8:30 to car pool out to Elm Creek. The plan will be to do some classic skiing.

Note: There was enough snow in Wisconsin to open up portions of the Birkie trail, skate only. Think about going out there if the thought of another set of Elm Creek laps drives you crazy. Another option would be to head down to Theodore Wirth for some time on the section race course.
