SuperTour Finals
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010I got back to the County late last night and this morning had a chance to go out for a ski at Nordic Heritage. Things are looking good for JO’s next week. Apparently the weather over the last few weeks has been unpredictable, but there is still a good healthy base left on the trails in Presque Isle. I also have a reliable second hand report from Fort Kent and Madawaska that the skiing up north is also very good.
I am going to put in a plug here for the SuperTour finals coming up at the end of March because I am fired up that they are here in my backyard. Here is the link to the website:
The races start out with the 50k national championships on Wednesday and continue over the weekend with a three day Tour de Ski Event. I can say that the races at both venues will be fun. The folks in Madawaska have put in a brand new lodge and stadium within the last year and the trails are in a great spot overlooking the St. John River, Madawaska, and Edmunston Quebec. The races in Fort Kent will be at the same site as the biathlon World Cups coming to the US next year. My sources tell me that already there is a strong field registered with the number growing by the day.
There is going to be a lot of racing action up here in the next few weeks! The Junior Olympics start on Monday in Presque Isle, the week after Fort Kent will host Biathlon Nationals, and then the SuperTour finals. It will be nice to have a front row seat to all that is going on. Before things get crazy though, I am headed to the Rangeley Loppet this weekend.
