I’ve been out on the skinny skis loving every K the past two days. It’s been a couple years, but it all came back quickly and I’ve already got 70+ km. The legs and body are feeling good; it’s such a dichotomy between riding in Tucson amongst busy streets and skiing through serene forests. I really love skiing and the fresh corduroy is the equivalent of a vacant road or winding singletrack. I can’t get enough!

See you on the birkie trails soon? -TJ

Where are those trails? Its a nice break from the bike isn’t it. Why be on the trainer in the winter months when there is such good skiing? Its a good activity for the upper body, core and Vo2. When there is snow down Sam and I never train on the bike, and by the time spring rolls around we’re excited to get back on the bike for those long hrs. Plus the roads are too dangerous in the winter. Have a great New Year.
Yeah, skiing is hard to beat in the winter climate… Both Timeberland Hills and the Blue Hills Trails are in NW Wisco - somewhat close to Spooner. Have a happy New Year; I’m headed back to Tucson soon.
What’s up Scruff? I see you went home for the holidays. How was it?
Hey TJ…great run-in at the OO trailhead. You just might have to get up here to ski the Birkie. Hell, 70 + K…that’s enough to ski a sub 3 hr race! Look forward to seeing you again!
