https://www.strava.com/segments/26996790   

The speed test closes Sunday around 6 PM

 Overzealous health officials won't let us have a virtual race so we'll have a speed test.

Course opens now. Closes at 6 PM Sunday. This is an individual speed test. It's 10.6 km.

You MUST ski this solo or ONLY with members of your household. NO GROUP SKIS.

You have 5 days to complete it. Points awarded as described for segments.

IMPORTANT ROUTE INFORMATION!!!!

Start at the stables parking lot, on the Bluestem trail. At the first opportunity (about 100 feet from the start) veer right in the grooves. Ski along the Bluestem trail until you get to the Esker downhill. (It's before the warming hut on the Chickadee trail) Ski down this hill (It's windy and twisty) to the Chickadee intersection; then take Chickadee to the Chickadee parking lot. Get back onto the Bluestem (on your left) and ski back to the stables.

It's only .8 km long but it's a good warm up if you're going for speed.

It doesn't matter how you get there, just get across the back side of this trail...

 January 13th (conditions permitting) Virtual Wednesday night race.

The course will be posted that morning (it will be at Windsor Park Nordic Centre). Virtual race will begin at noon and close at 10 PM. All participants must START their ski within these times. Points awarded the same as weekly segment winners.

Recreational club members will be allocated participation credit the same as completing a segment. Please follow WPNC rules and health guidelines. This will be an open class race (skate or classic- no separate categories; all skiers in the same class except for male/female)

 This weeks segment takes you to the sort of hidden gem that is Birds Hill Park.  It also breaks up the recreational and competitive clubs.

Recreational Segment is the north side of the Chickadee trail starting at Griffins Hill and ending at the group use road, at 2.1 km it's further in the trail so you'll be nicely warmed up:

The competitive segment is the opening section of the Bluestem trail from the stables parking lot to the warming hut at Chickadee/Bluestem/Esker trail confluence, it's 5.3 km with plenty of twists but fairly flat, this will be a good test of your early season fitness:

NOTE:  Soon a virtual race will be organized.  Stay tooned.  

You can join the strava clubs at any time.
