Road Trip to Alpina

Here are a couple pictures from a little road trip last week I took with my sister down to Lebanon, NH - the home of Alpina Sports. We were meeting up with Dorcas Wonsavage, the Alpina race director to say hi, pick up the Peltonen race skis, and try on some boots.

I wore the boots and raced the skis over last weekend at Bolton and Craftsbury. The races went ok for me - a starting point. Northwest Vermont Nordic had good attendance - and Eric Tremble raced really well. It was nice to get the first measure of the season. It lets you know how far back you are and it helps get me motivated to do the training to catch-up to the front of the pack.

Dorcas, myself, Peltonen Supra-X, and a ski tie. The skis are real light.
The Alpina Sports race serive truck...with plow and all. Legit.
This was my lunch...a "Rio" bagel sandwich from Burlington bagel. Sausage, cheese, egg, salsa, on a sesame bagel. Pure Magic.
