VMH Wellness Center Frosty Cross!



















Ok, here it is at long last! Pictures from the Frosty Cross Event


Fun Event! I have to get the hang of this Blog stuff as not all of the Pictures made it on. Another Post will be coming soon.


Just a quick word of thanks to the first round of racers who came out and made it a go. It sounded like everyone had a blast. We had some first-time racers who really were great and Parks and Rec made it possible to have a very cool course. They even packed the snow down with a giant tractor the morning of the event! It was very cool.


Got to give some shout outs: First to TJ Sememanchin(sp?) Not only did he provide coffee for the event, both beans for competitors and liquid for everyone, he delivered it on a cold day via Burly. Very Cool, Second he got second in the beginners race! TJ has gobbs of natural ability and I think is going to be a big part of the crossing around these parts for a long time. Thanks for your help and I look forward to seeing you race in the Fall!


All the volunteers get a big shoutout! Josh, April, Lori Kleppe and Mary who ran registration, Candy, Jen, and Dan and Jill who made everything else happen.


Mt. Borah for the beautiful hats that were great gift bag type stuff. We look forward to seeing you guys in the fall. Maybe Raven will even get to come out as a part of the Sponsorship package?


Matt Kuennen who raced his first cross race in the snow! After the race he was just all fired up, you could see that he really loved him some cross. He also did the event in my shoes, so I sort of got to compete. Hope to see you in the Fall Matt, great ride!


All of the non-hockey-playing Viroqua Kids! Effi, Joquin, the Kuboz Boys, Noah who has turned his Dad Ken into a racer, Will B., the Faulter kids who all ride as great as their hammer father Thom.


To the Iowa folks Lee and Andrea Venteicher who make the drive up for this and the rest of our races. Hope the prize $ covered gas!


To all the folks who were first timers and did so in the snow, hope it was fun, thanks for the support!


Thanks again to the Madcross site for posting the results and announcements for this and all other races! People have made the drive simple because it was on the Madcross site that I check daily.


To all the people forgotten!


Catch you all later, only a few more months until fall. Look for a bare boned schedule later next week, and maybe some pictures of the potential course sites.
