Lester Park - 5:45 *Update*

When: Tuesday, February 9, 2010 @ 5:45 P.M.
Where: Lester Park - Upper Lot
Duration: 60 - 90 minutes
Weather: Double digits, snow (forecast)
Activity: Skate Skiing (alternate activity: snowshoeing)

Description:

***UPDATE***
According to the skier's hotline, Lester will be groomed this morning (Tuesday) and is expected to be in the best condition of the year. We'll stick to Plan A.

Plan A - Ski
Plan B - The current forecast calls for snow. Depending on snow accumulation and grooming conditions, we may opt to snowshoe on the snowmobile or bike trails in Lester instead. Spare headlamps and snowshoes will be available.

If there are any changes, the blog will be updated by 2:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

As always, group composition will dictate pace, distance, etc. Tuesday nights are intended to be a fun, social activity.

Two other notes. First, if there is interest, we may grab some food immediately following the outing. Second, as spring draws near, we will be transforming this into a marathon training group in preparation for Grandma's Marathon. The group will be generally following the training schedule posted on Grandma's website.

Hope to see you Tuesday night!

Where: Lester Park - Upper Lot
Duration: 60 - 80 minutes
Weather: Single digits, light snow
Activity: Skate Skiing

Description:
It has been a while since we've used the Tuesday night for skiing.  Be aware, presently the conditions are hard packed with at least one small icy patch.  We will primarily stick to the lit trails, so headlamps are only required if you want to investigate the loops beyond.

Do not let speed inhibit you from attending.  Depending on the group composition, we may have a faster and a slower group. Tuesday nights are always intended to be a fun, social activity.

See you tomorrow night!

Until next week

This week's 1/26/10 fun run (or ski) is cancelled.  With the generous snow we received over the last several days, we will almost assuredly be visiting Lester next week for skate skiing.  Be sure to get out and enjoy all the new white stuff on your own.

See you next week!
