Okay, anyone who has visited this site knows by now we have a rather complicated life in the winter season. Living and training high has its benefits but sometimes getting to the airport is harder than getting ready for a race. Especially like this morning after two days of fresh pow falling from the sky. To give you an idea, here are some shots from the morning commute:
Early winter morning up at the house
Step one: get the sled out of the basement
ATV and skidoos covered in snow
Step two and three: line sled with tarps and load with bikes and luggage
Step five: secure everything with bungies and make sure tarp covers so things don’t get covered in snow
Step six and seven: attach sled to skidoo and get bundled up for the 3-mile, 2200 ft descent to the car
Step eight: make the trip down to gate area where car is parked
Step nine: unload all the gear into the car
Step ten: park skidoo where car was to save the parking spot
car full of stuff
Step eleven: walk down to gate, open gate for car to go through, then close gate
twelve: drive to airport, unload stuff onto cart, get rid of it all for $360.00 excess baggage, go to first race the the year in Merced, California!
