Seventy-four racers came out for the Range Ramble on Saturday, Jan. 20 and about 40 of them were from Mansfield Nordic Club! We drew racers from Frost Mountain (Middlebury area), Craftsbury, Sleepy Hollow and even Onion River (Montpelier area). Although the day dawned partly sunny, by race time clouds covered the skies keeping the race course cold and fast, as the thermometer was threatening to move into the thirties. First off were the 8 Lollipoppers. They were followed by the 1/2’s, then the 3/4’s, the 5/6’s and lastly, the 7/8’s who skied 2 loops for a total of 4 km. Thanks to Juniors Kai Richter and Ali Priganc for acting as “rabbits” and showing the racers the way. I think the juniors got more of a work-out than they were counting on because these BKL kids were FAST!
Great job to all the MNC racers- and a big cheer goes out to all the first time racers we had today! You all skied so well! Thanks also to all the parents who helped with the race and to Dave Priganc who took pictures of all the racers.

It’s nice to have hot cocoa and snacks after the race for everyone! Bring a snack to share and a jug of water so that we can make hot cocoa for after the race (Range water is non-potable)!
