Thunderbolt Race - Saturday February 20th

billski · Jan 6, 2010, 10:15 AM

The race is in full gear. It promises to be a BIG DEAL with a very large crowd. 75th anniversary. You should seriously consider coming out for the day to watch - it is a very historic race. I'll be there as a timing volunteer.

Thunderbolt trail was cut by the CCC on Greylock Mountain in the northern Berkshires of Massachusetts.

I have been hearing a lot of talk about this race locally. A group of Sundown Patrollers are heading up to compete and volunteer. It sounds like a lot of fun.

I got on the waitlist, but I think my likelihood of getting in the race is pretty slim at this point. This thing sold out QUICK!

It's the happening place to be on Feb 20th!

It's going to be wild with all that vert done nonstop.

Nice training shots!

When did you take those pics, a couple weeks ago?
