Cycling. Paintball. Snowboard. XC Ski.

Tues night ski is cancelled due to poor trail conditions AND the request by WPNC to limit skiing during this time of warm weather and minimal snow conditions.

Anyone know how the skiing was last night?

20 min Power Evaln tonight at WRC; 730 pm start. All pwr chasers welcome.

Hey all.

We had our first weekly(depending on the weather) ski night on Tuesday at The Windsor park Nordic center.

It went well.  Just 7 of us but it was fun nonetheless.  Skiing is hard.  It took a lap for the old technique to come back and a lap after that I was cooked.  Fun.  Anyone can join us next Teusday @ 6:45 in The “chalet”.

Supposed to be -3 or something like that.

It will be skate technique until we get a tiny amount more snow.  Again, all are welcome.

Dave.

There are as many tactics for this theme as there are riders so I’ll jump in with shoes – using clipless pedals; The Northwave Celcius or the Specialized Defroster are 2 cozy shoes that allow clipless pedals; just keep the tension at a low setting for easy/quick foot release. For the hardcore rider – Lake makes a shoe – MXZ 302 that is amazingly warm even in -25C and riding for 30 minutes. My hands though….. facial coverage is a must via a LavaWool face mask or other piece but this one offers great coverage and comfort. This is just one riders’ opinion. The key is to ride and stay warm – these make it better. ride safe and stay warm.
