The End-of-Year Race Party will be The Main Street Exchange in Rockaway, NJ, the date will be Thursday, May 1, starting at 6:30 pm.  Since Pico did not charge us the per racer cost that I was quoted in the fall (which I included in the per racer charge), we have some extra money that we will use to subsidize the party.  This may not happen in the future.  The cost will be $15/person, if you make your reservation by April 22, if interest please e-mail me if you are attending.

The last race of the season was held at Hunter Mt. this past Saturday. It is hard to believe the season is over but all good things have to come to the end. Now we can move on to Bike Larry, Bike NY, Roy Yankees, Glen Jimmy Buffet, The Clam Bake and Don Pub crawl, just to mention a few upcoming events. We had 8 racers & 2 trainees get up early and drive the 2 hours for the annual SSMPR @ Hunter Mt. The weather was sunny and mid 30’s, the Mt conditions were very favorable for free skiing through the Mt. The race course was challenging as the rain from the beginning of the week make the hill some what icy between the gates.

Thanks to all!

On Saturday March 8, 2008 we held our annually Craigmeur Club Race at Pico, VT. The weather was overcast with mix precipitation, lucky the heavy rain held off until the race was finished and everybody heading back to the lodge. This was a record turn out for the race, with 33 children & 24 adults all completing for the chance in winning a Craigmeur Gold Medal.

Some notes from the race, Chuck almost had his best run every, except a gate got in the way of his nose and cause a major crash. Congrats to Craig on finishing 2^nd and being a gracious winner. Thanks to Roy for taking all the pictures.

The tailgate party was smartly decided in the morning to be held at the lodge by Tracey. The party as usually had more food & drinks then people, with plenty of hamburgers, dogs, wings, home salads and other snacks. The kids still had fun play games, tag, etc…, the adults were able to get a power nap and others just enjoyed a good conversation.

Thanks to Tracey for her fine efforts and making the event a success! Also I like to thank some of her assistants and cooks, Kurt, Bob, Oliver, Eric and Phil.
