- Rikert Race Saturday POSTPONED until Monday 2-15-16 February 12, 2016
A message from Izzy Caldwell at Rikert:
Hi All,
Due to the frigid temperatures this weekend, we have decided to postpone the race until Monday. I think most kids have next week off of school. It will start at 1 pm with the lollipoppers and then go 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. Here is a link to the google form, I have updated it. Please let me know if you have registered and can no longer come and also please pre-register if you are planning on racing so that we have an idea on numbers.
I skied at Rikert today and it was GORGEOUS skiing!!!
See you Monday and I hope this works for everyone!
Izzy

- Race Plan for This Weekend, Saturday 2/13/16 February 10, 2016
INFORMATION FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN RACING:
Location: Rikert Nordic Center – At Middlebury College’s Breadloaf campus http://www.rikertnordic.com/ Time: Saturday – See race organization sheet below Technique: skate Wax Recommendation: see race doc **The races at Woodstock on Sunday have been cancelled and rescheduled to Feb 28 Rikert is hosting “Febblast,” a skate race this Saturday for BKL ages. This is a wonderful opportunity to ski on good SNOW. What a thought! Rikert has snowmaking and is also at a much higher elevation, so the snow should be nice. There will be a BBQ in the barn after the races, as well. It should be a fantastic community ski event.
Two Action items to complete ASAP if your child wants to race:
- Go to the registration page below and complete the “form” so Rikert knows your child will be there. They are planning food, etc. https://docs.google.com/a/fordsayre.org/forms/d/1wUT2TbM3XfB-0-RCGroEv97qAFpd26XyM786zE2QmQ0/viewform?c=0&w=1
- Add your child’s name to our race organization doc so Jay and coaches know your child plans to be there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ia1R4tWzNVKZzmSYDZwj8wVr-UbeESBaIGucJ5KcfP8/edit?usp=sharing
More later for those who decide to race.
Cheers!
