BKL Practice Week of 1/02-1/08/23 Updated

By on 1 January, 2023 in BKL Training Schedule

Update 1/02/23:  Sadly, there will be no skiing at the Range this week due to the Mega-meltdown. But we have some fun things to do instead:

Tuesday, 1/03:

Devos: Training w/Juniors & Kristen: Check Junior Training Doc 

Penguins, Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes & Racers:  Climbing Day at Metro Rocks (Plan B)!

Before the pandemic hit, we used to do a day here every year and it was always a lot of fun! If you’ve never been, you can check out their website here.

Details: We are getting a discounted rate: $18 for day pass, $4 for shoes, $2 for harness. Parents need to come in, sign the waiver and get your child set up. We will have a few coaches around  but it would help to have a few extra parents stay.  To expedite things, sign the waiver before hand: Metrorocks Waiver

Time: Normal time: 3:45-5:15 but feel free to stay longer with a parent present.

Metrorocks Location: 320 Sunderland Way, Essex Jnct.  Directions: Turn into the Lowe’s parking lot off the Susie Wilson Rd. Drive through the front Lowe’s parking lot all the way around to the back and you will see MetroRocks on the left.

Website: MetroRocks

Thursday, 1/05: Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes, Racers:

Plan B:  Dryland at Mill River Park.

We will have fun doing games, running around and playing soccer. BRING A HEADLAMP!

Saturday Racers: Sleepy Hollow BKL Race- Still On!

Technique TBD depending on conditions. Races start at 10 AM with Lollipop.

BKL Practice, Week of 12/19

By on 17 December, 2022 in BKL Training Schedule

Tuesday, 12/20: All BKL groups*:

Classic at Tomasi Field

*Devos: Check Junior Training Doc for Technique Choice

ALL MNC will be at Tomasi’s today. Tomasi/Casey Hill parking lot is very small so please park as outlined below:

Parking:  Jack Rabbit, Arctic Fox, Racers/Devos:

Park at Underhill Central School  & ski to Tomasi’s: 6 Irish Settlement Rd., Underhill. (Corner of Pleasant Valley Rd & Irish Settlement Rd).

-Waxing will be set up here for those with waxable skis.

-Coaches will meet groups here. We will ski the trail to Tomasi’s Field together.

-Coaches will ski with these kids back to school at the end of practice

-We hope to have the trail lit with Tiki torches!

-If you are late: You can ski the trail with your child to Tomasi’s, or you can drive down to Casey Hill Parking and drop kids off there where they can immediately access the field and find their group. We don’t want kids skiing the trail and doing the road  crossing alone. 

Penguin Parking:

Penguin parents can park in the small Casey’s Hill Parking lot: Drive past the Underhill Central School on Pleasant Valley Rd and take your next right onto  Mountain Rd. The parking lot is immediately on your right. We may need to work together and park each other in. Penguin coaches will meet kids and parents here.

-If you are a Penguin parent and have an older child in a different group: Have them hang with Penguins until their group arrives at Tomasi’s.

Coming to the Range

By on 8 December, 2022 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Hello everyone!

While our Range days are limited in December (and the lack of snow makes it difficult to have a “traditional” session in the first place) we have access occasionally and I’d like to just put out information on the arrival process as a refresher.

  • If you have signed up for MNC Programming (including Range Access, not just coaching) your name will be added to our “command list” which is kept at the front gate.
  • When you drive in, you’ll need to show a photo ID to the gate guard and specify that you’re on the MNC/Mansfield Nordic Club list. For younger skiers, a school ID is fine! For the smallest skiers (elementary school) it’s likely ok to just have a parent in the car who can provide names.
  • Always remember to go the speed limit, or even better BELOW the speed limit!
  • Need specific directions to the Range itself? Check out this document below

Range Directions

 

BKL Practice 12/06 Cancelled

By on 5 December, 2022 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

There will be no BKL Practice today at Mill River Park due to too much rain.  We will meet Thursday at the Range as planned.

Devos are still on for Sleepy Hollow with the Junior. Check the Junior Training Doc (link below in last post) for updates.

Suggestion: Take your dog or yourself for a little walk or run in the rain, then come home and warm up with a hot chocolate! Also a good day to bake cookies!
