Noquemanon Ski Marathon Jan 24th 2009

Club members Cheryl Ryder and John Herring travelled to Marquette, Michigan to race in the Noquemanon Ski Marathon on January 24th (http://www.noquemanon.com/). It was -6 at the start line, but the sun was shining and it was a beautiful ski from Ishpeming to Lake Superior. About 200 folks participated, 33 were women. Chery skied the 51 Km Classic marathon and got a 1st place genuine Moen cow bell for her age class and 11th for the women. John completed the 51 Km skating marathon and had a great time. Cheryl is going to do one more American Ski Marathon Series race this year - the Gold Rush - at Royal Gorge on March 22nd.
