    Default XC Skiing Interest

    Big Splash and I were talking yestersday about putting together a few local cross country ski outings... Emeis, Duck Creek, Sco Co Pa, Saukee. Putting it out there to see who is interested... Seems that favorable XC ski conditions don't stick around long around here, so it'll be a post and go type deal. We can also send emails or texts. Just get us your digits and you'll be on the notification list. PM me.

    Also, one of the things he suggested was to do a ski event similar to the Chocolate Ski Tour at Spring Green (you ski a course where there are chocolate stops along the way). Just thinking of fun things to occupy our time when bike riding isn't as favorable.

    I"m lost- why isn't biking favorable? HAHA!! Kidding- no thread hijack here!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Oooh, Gov. Dodge Park sounds like fun! Another place I want to hit is Swiss Valley in Dubuque -- in fact, I have already been talking to the Chain Reaction crew about that. It's been YEARS since I've been there, but it was SUPER fun! And, Galena does groomed XC trails too. We have plenty of options!!!!

    Plenty of snow now. Anybody up for a ski within the next few days? My brother and I are heading out this afternoon, don't know where yet; maybe Blackhawk College grounds.
