Traffic Problem Tomorrow (Saturday Jan 28)

Hi Everyone,
Well, we think we will have decent trails and a good race tomorrow. Anyone coming up from the South on #371 should be aware the Brainerd Ice Fishing Extravaganza is on tomorrow and traffic will be down to one lane near Gull Lake and heavy!! Alternate routes from the west are to wind through the County roads and get onto #77 in Lakeshore and come around the north side of Gull. From the east, you can turn north on CR #3 by Caribou coffee as you enter BRD and take that to #4, and #4 to #13 which will bring you to Lake Hubert. Take Clark Lake Dam road up to Clark Lake Rd and then to my house.

Everyone—be super careful on the back roads and in our driveway; and also in parking area on Charmin Ave near the range. Lot of ice everywhere. Please park on the east side of Charmin near the range. Also please recall there are no bathrooms at the range, only his and her trees Smile

Hope to see you tomorrow! Keep an eye on your email late tonight/ early tomorrow for any updates.

Thanks
Bill Meyer, Coach

Biathlon and Lumberjack Jaunt

Hi Everyone-
Just a quick update. Both races are on—Saturday Biathlon and Sunday a Nordic 6 or 18km [3 x 6km] Skate or classical. I skied the LJJ course this morning with good skis and it was really good, plus the high school will have 30 kids shoveling this pm as they are using part of it tomorrow for a Conference race.

Enclosed are a couple of pictures from the Arb this morning.

I will continue to work on the biathlon courses. Not bad, but we can make it better by Saturday.

MNCup Biathlon race #5 info

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Please consider this to be notice that the Biathlon race in Nisswa this coming Saturday will be held, unless something catastrophic occurs.

The outer Blue course is a bit icy at present, and we are working to break that up. We will eliminate the most sketchy downhill in any case and I think we can get the rest skiable when we get the ginzo in on Friday. Meanwhile we will keep shoveling and working it with our two drags.

At worst we will do double laps on the Yellow to replace the Blue.

You can use any skis, but I would recommend you use your second tier rather than your top end race skis. The course will be fast and there is a little dirt showing here and there.

Please let me know that you are coming, [so I can work up a start list] and if so, whether you and any family will join us for a lunch after the races. [we need an approximate count for lunch]

Paul was going to discuss the event with some of his Guard members who are just starting out, so we may have a JrB [SM] class, also.

Any questions, please contact me.
