OK Folks,
Sorry this took so long to get out but I was out today getting the course
plowed and it looks pretty good so far. It will get plowed again if it
snows before the race.

Directions:
Exit Hwy 169 onto Plymouth Ave and take the North West Frontage road north
past United Building Products Building. The city park on the left has open
parking and if you do not want to drive out onto ice you can park here and
walk out to the race course just past the Ice Shanty Project Area. It is
only about 150 ft from shore this year. If you wish to drive out continue
1 block north on the frontage road to East Medicine Lake Blvd. and turn
left. It will go down to the lake and turn north to the marina where
there is a ramp and you can get out onto the lake. We will be to the north
and west of the Art Shanty project area. Watch where you drive as the snow
can be deep and drifts are unpredictable, and changing.

The weather looks cold for Saturday with a high of 7-10 Degrees but only
mild winds and mostly sunshine. There is a porta potty and warming houses
at the ice shanties about 150 ft away from the race course. Don't forget
warm boots and a helmet if you want to race!

Well hope to see you out for the Race, Stay Warm

Dave K.
