Fun and interesting website.
Heres the course.

The Minnesota 'cross calendars is getting turned on its head right now- basically way too many organizers/proposed races than the calendar has room for. That's great!

Once we get through this, 'cross racing in minnesota will be improved. Better/bigger/more competitive calendar. We just hope we can fit Northfield in. I can't wait to run up that hill again.

Jake Boyce is running around like a man on a mission at St. Olaf trying to figure out what dates we can and can't do.

Well, back to chilling and training in warm Austin, TX.

....so here's a sweet picture.
I stole it from this guy

It's already being planned for 07....watch out!
