BKL Practice Week of 1/26-1/31

Tuesday 1/26/21: Everyone Classic

Weather: High of 25F, low of 18F

Wax: If you have wax left on from last week, cork it in well, then add 2 more layers: TOKO Red or SWIX V40 (Blue Extra).

Craftsbury has just decided to hold a BKL race on Sunday 1/31. More details will be forthcoming, but these are the main points:

Starting at 1pm with youngest first; older kids going later; should be wrapping up around 3pm
CLASSIC (had initially said skate, but gotta take advantage of these perfect classic conditions)
Pretty standard BKL distances (lollipop does a quick rip; grades 1/2 do 1-2k; grades 3/4 do 2-3k; grades 5/6 do 3-4k; grades 7/8 do 4-5k)
Individual starts (1 racer every 30 seconds) to keep kids spaced out
Pre-registration will be REQUIRED to comply with a bunch of COVID regulations and will close Saturday evening—no day-of-race registration, unfortunately.
There will be an additional health screen form to fill out, too
Spectators are unfortunately not allowed per state rules, so please set parents’ expectations accordingly. Parents of children 10 and under are allowed to get them going but then need to make themselves scarce. Coaches can help out as much as needed.
Entry fee = $0.

**Instead of our Sprint skate time trial practice, we will do this race!

If you are coming you need to sign-up, purchase a ticket (or have a season’s pass) and reserve ski time at Craftsbury. Links to all below:
