Short Track #1 Over/Under

[xc62701]

What’s it gonna be? I hope this can be pulled off but I’m also realistic and this has been a crappy/icy winter. Totals have been downgraded through the day. I see 1-3 plus some ice now for the area. I’m thinking of bringing my xc skis instead. Thoughts?

I think I'll have another beer...

I don’t know. We’ll need to make the call in the morning.

I like it less than you guys do.

Sorry to have to make the call. That’s not fun with the effort that goes into this. I’m crossing my fingers it’s still good.

I don't mind adults making decisions on how fast they go given the conditions. The kids don't have the experience or fear. My only concern.

everyone show up early and shovel?

I'll enjoy 68 degrees in my bed

Amazing things happen when you remove fear.... and kids are more pliable.. adults hit the ground and break easier and stay broken much longer. Kidding

Watching this thread because of the inquiries from the kid’s parents.

The question is how many kids are ok hitting the ground a number of times and how many will enjoy waiting behind the ones who fell.

I envision lots of slow speed fall overs and log jams.. lots of dabbing

Remove kid vs adult.. its a person risk liability call

Additionally I like to think that what we give people is a good product and not garbage... Speaking for myself, I want people racing on a race course, not something that can barely be ridden...

 

[Mtbdog]

Tough call, more to consider than just the race course. People traveling distance may have to deal with slick road conditions early in the morning. I'm sure the MTBNJ crew has been there, done that so, I'm confident the correct decision will be made. Hoping for a go, will respect any call.

What about a last minute change of the venue name...Mini-Iditarod!

I should have an answer by 9am.

I should have an answer by 9am.

Question... is there something other than on site recon reports that you look at when making such a call?

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

Today or tomorrow?

A bunch of chatting behind the scenes via txt... tough call Norm and tough position to be in...

Thank Meng

Oh for sure.

Site recon
Who is making the recon
Who else lives close
Forecast for today/tonight/tomorrow
Previous conditions
Availability of volunteers for the day
Is it still snowing?
The fact that 66 sets of parents are sweating this mess right now. Wow, 66 is a lot.

Today or tomorrow?

Haha good question. Today.
