Not to take Tom's thunder away from him, but I just got off the phone with Tom (at 18:10) and they are down to the last half mile of shoveling snow off the course and he said the race is a go for Saturday, Feb 12th.

He's out on the course and can not update the forum yet and I know a lot of you are waiting to make plans.

So see your there.

Well its done....Trash talking Dad is "THE MAN"...he graded all the snow on the trail we were just shovellers....and salters....sill lots of snow in the grassy areas....thanks everyone that worked...

Hope this snow stuff doesn't be come a common thing....or we'll have to think like the government thinks....snow removal surcharge on the entry fees....lol

Agree 100%. Thanks so much. I really can't imagine all the hard work that went in to clearing that trail. The RVR crew has had to do this 2 years in a row now. I vote for good weather next year!

Good job on getting the trail cleared! It was a great race, thanks to all who had a hand in it.

Tom, great job to you and all your help on clearing the trail of the snow and ice on Saturday. My main concern were the bridges and they were almost completely clear. Hopefully you won't have the ice and snow next year.

I wonder if 6+ miles of heating strips could be purchased cheaply, easily....lol

Great job on clearing the course for the race! I credit it for my 1.5 minute PR!

Great job Sidewinder for putting on a great race, Trashtalker Dad for all he did clearing the course, and everyone else who contributed to the event.

Kerry and I liked the separate starts. It allowed us to both race and still bring the kid. We also thought the age group trophies were great.

Oh yeah...getting a shirt from a race that I can run in is always a plus! I can deal with the pink.
