This a great race this coming weekend – classic Saturday, skate Sunday. Although it’s in Canada its closer to Burlington than some of the other venues that we travel to. The 16k loop course is very nice. I plan to do the 32k classic on Saturday. It looks like registration ends end of the day tomorrow.
