Saturday, February 4th is our opening round of our series in Mercer, WI at the Hideaway Resort on Turtle Flambeau flowage. As of today, there is 12 – 24″ of snow on the flowage and the wind has been building up drifts all over the lake so it will get rough. Current course layout is just over 8 miles and we will be working to stretch it closer to 10mi.
Part of our goal with the series is to support the local communities that host our races and to give back. At the Mercer race, the Mercer area high school senior class will be selling concessions (brats & patties provided by our sponsor Johnsonville) to raise funds for their senior trip to California in June.
In addition to fundraising for the local high school kids we are going PINK at the Mercer race in support of Andrea Myers participation with the WI Pink Ribbon Ride on February 17-18 in Eagle River, WI. We will be donating $1 from every race entry that day towards her fundraising efforts. Every dollar she raises stays here in WI to provide financial assistance to both men and women diagnosed with breast cancer. If you would like to donate to this program there is a link to her fundraising page on our homepage or talk to Andrea at the races.
