Snowshoe season is officially here!

The snowshoe crew went out on Sunday at Oxbow, and there was plenty of snow to explore!  Below are a few pictures of the day.. great turnout!   Remember, if you don't have snowshoes, but want to join, we can always find loaners.. just let us know, and we'll get them rounded up!

Ready to shoe!

Here's another peek at the week.. it's loaded!  Check it out!

Monday 6pm:  The Monday Maniacs are hitting Beetles Bar & Grill in Rochester. Typically a downtown route with clear sidewalks.   Wear something reflective as always, and headlamps are still suggested even downtown.
Tuesday 5:30pm:  Join the track workout at the indoor track at RCTC for a good old fashion speed session.  Never done speedwork before?  Make this your first time!
Tuesday 6pm:  TerraLoco continues their 5K fun runs for local charities. Stop in and support the effort!
Tuesday 6:15pm:  The trail crew heads to Quarry Hill for some more snowshoeing!  Nighttime snowshoeing is fun!   
Thursday 5:20am:   The progressive run hits week 2 of 2014.   Come on out.  This week we're meeting downtown, near the DAHLC.   Check back for specific locations. Also, do not be intimidate by this workout, it's one that says.. get faster every mile.. and when that becomes a larger challenge, maintain the pace you're at! 
Thursday 6pm:  Team R.E.D. heads back to Brothers Bar & Grill!  We'll head out for routes of 3, 4 or 6 miles and back for the fun.  As always, be sure to park in the back, and come inside the back door for the route talk.
