Ski to Sea Event

Everyone in VOCO!

Need a little adrenaline in you're lives? An event to train for? Well, lets put together a few teams for the Ski to Sea held in Kelowna at the end of March here in Kelowna! Teams of 2-7 people, or you can do the race solo- it is a relay race event starting with DOWNHILL SKIING on Big White, to NORDIC SKIING at Big White, MNT BIKING down Big White to meet the ROAD CYCLIST, who does a 40km ride and meets the distance RUNNER, who runs to Okanagan Lake to meet the 2 CANOESTS who paddle across the lake to Westbank and back (close to the bridge) completing the event over a few hours. Then of course, drinks must be had at the local pub (if you're of age!).
This is a very fun event that I participated in last year for Venture Gear as their XC skier, and I reckon VOCO should be putting a few teams out there to represent our sick club within the community! So gather you're pals and contact me for more info. or go to www.ski2sea.ca and investigate the wild race for yourself!

There is still time to register and gather a team, but I wanted to put the idea in you're heads earlier rather than later! Remember, these events cost money too, so the more team members you have, the more you can afford to split the cost. Registration deadline I believe is March 16th- after that the price goes UP!

Maybe we can make team t-shirts or something- props to those of you who give it a shot going solo! May the farce be with you.

Cheers,
Sam Brett
