The first Eastern Cup has been moved from Rikert to Lake Placid. This is a big change, but luckily the new venue is not TOO far from us. Some notes and links that are important:
- Registration closes WEDNESDAY at 6PM! There is no day-of-race registration for these competitions, so you MUST sign up ahead of time.
- Additionally, you must have all of your proper licenses and forms completed. If you need information on this, please see this page posted not long ago.
- View Adam’s Virtual Team Notes page here.
- We do not have a team trip for this race, but there appears to be some good lodging options available at reasonable prices in Lake Placid. It is worth also noting that both Keene and Saranac Lake are within 30 minutes of the venue and are additional good options to broaden a search for lodging.
- One option may be to drive over day-of on Saturday and only stay one night. Check your race start times here to determine if this might be an option worth exploring.
- As mentioned in the Virtual Team Notes, please try to get skis to Adam as early as possible this week, as prep begins in earnest. In fact, skis that were in use this past weekend have already begun prep, as they were kept in the trailer after skiing at Craftsbury…the first layers have already gotten onto the bases!
- Our order of suits and gear from Podiumwear shipped at 3:55pm last Thursday. This was all supposed to arrive on November 30th according to Podiumwear, so they are behind schedule, but everything should ideally be in-hand just in time for the first Eastern Cup.
Our last trip to Lake Placid back in the fall…more snow will be present this time!
