50K Club Back In Action 9-26-04
Maybe it is because we're all getting older. Or, maybe we're just busy
doing other things... Either way, this was probably the latest start the 50K Club ever got before a ski season. However, the numbers were big thanks to "Elite Wave Dave" Christopherson calling everyone to show up. That used to be my job but "Elite Wave Dave" did a fine job and he can continue to do so. Among the others who appeared on a beautiful September Sunday in the Afton Hills east of Saint Paul were Tom Bengel, Jay Wenner, Per and Margie Nelson, Pete Thurmes, Dave Peterson, Tim "T Squared" Trudeau, Bob Woodruff, Toby Markowitz, John O'Connell, Dave Gornge, Dan Alms and Bill Quinn. Oh yeah, Julie Joy Wenner rode her bike. Anyway, we split into groups depending on speed. Tom Bengel and I cruised along at our own pace. Wenner skied quite a bit on his own. "Elite Wave Dave" skied with "T Squared", Per, Peterson and Woody. I had my hands taped up pretty good to prevent blisters since gloves seem to make it worse in warm weather. For some reason, the hills seemed bigger this year. That could be because I haven't done a lot of rollerskiing yet. Although, I have 3,000 miles between the road, mountain and cyclocross bikes... Tom and I hit all of the big climbs except 15th Street and Indian Trail. The total time rollerskiing for us was 2 hours 40 minutes.
