Looking Ahead
1/11/14 – Stowe Mini Marathon at Mansfield Touring Center https://www.nensa.net/calendar/index.html?id=1491
The Stowe Mini is a tradition for our BK skiers. This is not a race but a 25 km tour (with options for shorter distances) with food stops including chocolate and the famous blueberry soup. This year’s schedule puts the Stowe Mini the day before the FMNC BKL race so you will have to make some choices. Highly recommended for Masters and families! PLEASE EMAIL RICK if you are going so we can plan accordingly and bring a team wax box.
