It is April 8th. 6 weeks until the Mt Bachelor Pole Pedal Paddle race. It starts with a fast Giant Slalom/Super G on the alpine area. Then athletes transition into nordic skate skis for 8km of some ice and some slush. The bicycle ride is next, 22 miles of mostly downhill to Bend. Here comes the part not on the title, the run. 5 miles on streets and trails and it ends at the park beside the Deschutes river. Now competitors paddle 1/4 mile upstream, around a buoy, 1/2 mile downstream and 1/4 mile back up to the start. Then you get to “sprint” to the finish. You can see more info at http://www.pppbend.com/race_guide.htm.
If you need to rent skis for this event, we have a few pair that can go out to the craziness. Cost for skis for the weekend will be $20. If you need boots too, another $20. Pick up should be Friday, May 20 and then drop them off at the shop on Monday, May 23.
Start training and join us in the spring time fun.
