Boy, that can't be good news for all those kids. I'm bummed for them.

 

[MadisonDan]

Yeah.. at the end of the day though, the park needs to do what's best for the trails. Plus the pit and parking area will get destroyed if they get what the forecast calls for. One extra day, and we'd have been fine I think. Maybe we should all take off school/work and have the race Monday?

I get it, but when you're young it doesn't sink in the same way it does with some adults.

Can I still go down and set up the snowfences on Saturday?

Can I still go down and set up the snowfences on Saturday?

Yes, but only if you wait 3 weeks, and then do it at 6MR.
Thank you for volunteering. This sucks. I'm depressed. Please please please volunteer for the next race or one of the others as well.

There's a 5k in boonton Sunday 9am.

It's a pretty flat/easy run and there's tons of food and drink at the finish line, including a beer garden (free with race reg). It is a bit weird (for me) drinking beers at 10am on a Sunday in April, but it helps with motivation during the run.
