Is it Spring Yet

FasterSkierMarch 30, 2010

At Mt Bachelor at the moment, it is 22F, snowing and there are 112 inches of snow on the ground. The skiing is going to be good for another month. But the days are lighter and the daffodils are up. The bike business is picking up and we had our first kayak slalom race in Bend last weekend. Team WebSkis was well represented at this rite of spring. Aaron Tarnow completed his first ever whitewater race. Kerie Raymond, again off the couch, jumped in to have a couple good runs. I was both race organizer and competitor. That is not the way to have the best performance. But my main masters level rival and I teamed up in the K2 (two paddler kayak)and had a great run beating the local favorites.br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://www.webskis.com/uploaded_images/keri@gate8-riverhouse-2010-785583.JPG”img style=”display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://www.webskis.com/uploaded_images/keri@gate8-riverhouse-2010-785501.JPG” alt=”” border=”0″ //a Kerie Raymond exiting gate 8.br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://www.webskis.com/uploaded_images/k2-riverhouse-2010-768426.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://www.webskis.com/uploaded_images/k2-riverhouse-2010-768380.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” //a Dave Johnson and me at the end of our winning run.br /br /There is one more xc ski race, the Great Nordeen at Mt Bachelor coming up this weekend. There is also a big group ride supported by WebCyclery. Too much to do. Think I will try some new Madshus skis on Thursday, ride on Sunday and more paddling next week. Hope my body holds up.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-8288111594214252379?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
