We are renting rooms at the water park hotel in Ashland for the evening of February 19, the same evening of the race. I think we're up to 5 rooms booked now. </span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>For those of us that may opt out of the Trans Superior race on soft water, this is our chance to say we still did it anyways even though its only a little sliver of the lake, but who's picky? (2011 is a Trans Superior sailboat race year). </span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>Its a 10km ski race from Ashland to Washburn WI across the ice at night. There are about 3500 in the race and there is a huge tent party (warm temps) with plenty of libation at the end. Its very much a Bayfield/No. WI event in character. I've done the race 4 or 5 times and there is everybody from elite racer to people on snowshoes or pulling sleds with kids and those who have never been on skis before. </span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>Here is a Youtube that shows what its like. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhAasp8MV9Y">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhAasp8MV9Y</a></span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>The website for the event is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.batb.org">http://www.batb.org</a></span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>If you're interested, the rooms fill up fast and you'll not want to have to go too far after the party ideally.</span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>Let me know.</span></div> <div><br>"Maximizing Business by Minimizing Surprises"<br>~~~~~~~_/) ~ _/)~~~~~~~~~~_/)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>Thomas Brown<br></div></div><hr>_______________________________________________<br>
