Snow or not, now’s the time to register for the Chippewa Valley Powder Keg. It’s coming Saturday, January 28th, and we want to see you there for a fun-filled day on the trails of Lowes Creek County Park. Sponsored in-part by Eau Claire Bike and Sport.
If there’s snow by then, CORBA will again be holding a 5-mile snowshoe race, 2-mile snowshoe race and a short Kids & Mascots snowshoe sprint. Whether you’re a veteran racer or someone who’s never strapped on a pair of snowshoes before, you’re invited to join us and bring a friend (or two or three). And if you don’t have snowshoes, no problem; we’ll have some onsite to borrow.
If there is no snow, that’s okay. We’ll do a trail run/hike instead.
And after the snowshoe races, there will be an afternoon snow bike race (or just a mountain bike race if Mother Nature chooses to keep things a bit brown) Specifics will depend on trail conditions, but riders can expect about an hour of lapped racing and an exciting new winter experience.
No matter what the weather, we’ll have food, door prizes and awards for participants, and proceeds will go toward developing and maintaining your local trails.
Volunteers are needed, too, so please consider lending a hand if you don’t plan on racing. Volunteers and those who register by January 22 will get a free event T-shirt.
