Idaho Nordic Members – We will be posting any pertinent information next week and the week of the races on the Idaho Nordic website.
We had about 20 racers show up the clinic at World Ski and Cycle. The theme of the clinic was “Be Prepared and Self-Sufficient”. At this point, we are planning on having an Idaho Nordic waxing tent. Just look for the Idaho Nordic banners and USA flags. (On the last day look for the empty PBR cans and grilling bratwurst.)
Below is the checklist that was handed out at the clinic along with some other info. Please review it and if you do not have something on the list - GET IT. You all have trained, (driven to Bogus), and made the effort to sign-up for Worlds. Don’t blow your races because you were too cheap to buy a stick of BD8 or whatever you are missing.
Joe and Eric will testing on the Ponderosa trails Saturday, February 23rd. Once we have preliminary info on the conditions, terrain etc.. we will post the information. The start times are posted on the mwc2008 website for each age group. There are 29 Idaho Nordic racers signed up and ready to take on the WORLD!
