Looks like a good time and I'm actually off work that weekend! I'll definetely have to make a trip down there this year.

Excellent. Maybe we can get a car pool from Appleton.

What's the ice thickness and snow coverage out there now? Still just bare ice around Mpls/St. Paul.

There is ice. Maybe not going to take my SUV out very far.
Who's in?

Looks like the wifey and I are going down on Saturday. It's her day off also so I'm making her go with me. She can be the innocent bystander
If you see a forest green GMC Sierra with a cap that has Ozone and Peter lynn stickers on it, that'll be me. Hope to see ya there!

Wow.... next weekend..... hmmmm........
If I make it I will be old bald guy doing the superman imitations in the purple snowboard pants.......
Damn...... I got to learn how to fly one of these days......

Purple as in Barney Purple??
g00fba11 - 4-2-2012 at 09:27 PM
Bonfire Magnum Gortex...... Embossed Purple..... ya..... about the color of Barney I guess...... maybe a bit brighter.....
They were on clearance at "The House" (www.thehouse.com) only 45 bucks..... after I saw the price for Gortex snowboard pants the purple didn't seem so bad..... my wife disagrees.....
she avoids me when I where them in public.....
Wait until you see the jacket.....
Oh well..... they keep me warm and dry......
I never claimed to be a fashionista

Here's the scoop.
There is 12" ice where the party trailer is set up. Cold weather this week is certainly adding to the good ice.
Friday afternoon/evening is set up and pre-party.
Saturday there is a rider's meeting at 11:00 a.m. First competition starts at 11:30 a.m. Forecast for Saturday looks like 12-15 mph.
Sunday is an open day with activities TBD.
I will be there with freshly sharpened skis (still no snow), ice buggy and kitesled. I've got the black Toyota SUV with the Thule kite carrier on top.
Hope to see everyone.
