Alpine Vet Race is ON!!!

Trail in very good shape, firm and thick throughout, except for the first 1.5km. This was ploughed today, but after 2 hours of Jon shovelling snow back into it, it's just like November - packed and fast to the Quarry road, then thick and firm. Jon also had a polite chat with the plough driver who wondered who this idiot was frantically shovelling snow back over his nice cleared trail....all explained and discussed and the next time th blade will be a little higher.

Anyway, nice, safe and fast for the first 1.5 miles (even for skis, Jon's skijoring tomorrow so it is definately passable for skis!!), then lovely for the rest of the run.

Don't forget, there's a potluck at the results ceremony, and if anyone wants to bring anymore firewood, that would be great.

We await the mad weather puppy with trepidation....we got to +1'C at Icy Waters today, and scheduled for +2 tomorrow.

Remember the meeting is at 10.00am, Icy Waters Ltd
