Hi Everyone,Guess what? I have an opportunity to go to Europe! Burke Mountain Academy, a winter sports school based out of Vermont has set up a "spring tour" for the month of April and had a couple extra spots so myself along with my teammate Brooke Gosling have decided to go along!
This is a great opportunity as it gives me a chance to compete with some very strong European racers particularly from the Swedish National team. This is a good chance to get points as well as put me to the test to see how I will compare to some of the best racers in the world. The schedule of races I will be attending are all FIS sanctioned, and are usually well attended by World Cup racers.
April 4 SWE Pitea 3k Free
April 5 SWE Pitea 10k Pursuit
April 9 FIN Inari Sprint Classic
April 10 FIN Tornio 5k Free
April 11 FIN Pello or Rovanemi 5k Free or 14k Free
April 13 FIN Ylitornio 5k Classic
April 17 SWE Bruksvallarna Sprint Free
April 18 SWE Bruksvallarna 26k Free
Unfortunately the expenses for this trip is out of our own pockets. The cost is $2300 plus flights which are approximately $1000, which then amounts to around $3300.
At the moment Brooke and I are looking for sponsors to help us out, so if you, or someone you may know would be interested in providing financial support please click here for more info.
