Yeap, some big hills around Winona!

This Weekend the Winona Ski Community hosted CXC for a combined fundraiser for the Winona Ski Trails and our programs.  Saturday included a dinner and a live auction.  Thank you to Ryan and Megan Ping for hosting my family; we had a great time!

Sunday morning Ryan introduced me to some of the best roller-skiing I have ever seen… low traffic, big climbs and great pavement.  We had Gerry and Mike Cichanowski (famous Wenonah canoes), Jeff Stagemeyer, and Bob Heath (google Elliott or Garrett Heath to see some fast run times) came out to join us for a few repeats up Homer Hill.  The workout was a blast and I really enjoyed my time in Winona.  Hopefully I can make it back to ski the trails in the winter.
