Our home meet is right around the corner (Monday Jan 16th) and we are hosting it at Camp Ripley, out on their Biathlon course. We haven't hosted a home meet at home for several years, so there are a few things that may be helpful to know:
- The meet will start at 10am, but the race schedule has not been released yet. It usually would last until mid-afternoon. There should be signs, but if you aren't sure where you are going, the gate house attendant can give you a map and directions.
- It is approximately 20 minutes from the main gates to the course, so plan accordingly if you are planning to watch a race. The last time we raced out there the back roads were pretty snow packed so cars with low clearance had a tough time.
- We are going to have a table with food for our kids to eat, and there will be a concession stand. Between the two, your skiers probably won't need to pack a lunch. We will be selling a sub, chips and cookie for $5, and our food table will have more options. Also, we are selling hot chocolate for $1, but we are not selling Gatorade this year.
- Space will be limited, so there won't be room for lots of belongings. Thankfully, the weather is supposed to be nice and we are close to home. Having your skier pack thoughtfully will lessen stress and confusion.
- We need lots of help! There is a website sign-up sheet to either help with food for the concession stands or time on the day of the race. You should be getting an email from "Signup.com," but the link is here if you missed it: http://signup.com/go/3HgfRh
We look forward to seeing you Monday, and good luck to the Mesabi skiers!!!
