Anyone thinking about attending the Bogburn this Saturday should stay tuned to their official facebook page for updates regarding conditions. It sounds like we need to do a snow dance.

World Cup “Tour de Ski” underway

By Adam Terko on 29 December, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

In an effort to emulate the success of the vaunted Tour de France of cycling, the Nordic World Cup features an annual event called the Tour de Ski, comprised of ~8 races over the course of ~2 weeks around New Year’s. The Tour de Ski includes many different events such as sprints, point-to-point distance races, mass-start and a short prologue. Similar to the Tour de France, the overall winner is crowned based on aggregate time over all 8 events.

The Tour de Ski began yesterday with a prologue:

MNC BK and Masters Update 12/27/13

By Adam Terko on 27 December, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, Masters Blog

We have confirmed that the Santa’s Revenge race will happen! https://www.nensa.net/calendar/index.html?id=1487, BK will start at 9:30 and this is a freestyle/skate race. This is a great chance for all BK skiers to try a race!!
We will not have a practice on New Years Eve (next Tuesday) but will resume skiing at the range next Thursday 2 January.
Next Saturday – There is really fun, low-key race coming up next Satuday (1/4) in Pomfret, VT. The Bogburn race takes place on some classic nordic ski trails that feel like skiing back in the day: narrow, groomed with a snowmobile. https://www.nensa.net/calendar/index.html?id=1528
WAXING for this weekend by D. Bolduc

Mt. Hor Hop, Mt. Hor, 10:00AM- Noon 12/28/13

Santa’s Revenge, Sleepy Hollow 9:00AM 12/28/13

BFA/NWVE Alumni Citizen’s Race, Dickinson Farm 1:00PM 12/29/13

Glide:ToKo Red

Directions:

The weather leading into this weekend will be variable. We will see a deep freeze after last weekend’s ice event. Periodic snow showers are forecasted and will hopefully add some fresh snow to a very solid base. The temperature for the weekend will be steady and in the twenties with not much difference between the high and low temperature for the day. This is right in the middle of the ToKo Red range for these conditions.

Application will be straight forward. Apply ToKo Red and iron into the base. Let the ski cool completely, scrape and brush. For BKL racers doing races both days one application for the weekend should be good. For those doing the full distances check your bases. If your skis were fast and the bases are still black and shiny do not change a thing. If they look a little oxidized (having patches or streaks of grey/white on the base typically on tips and tails or near the edge) after day one re-wax for day two.
