Dirty Duo Volunteers Needed

This just in from Heather for Dirty Duo racers and potential volunteers:

EARLY BIRD TILL FEB 9
Online reg or mail in reg has early bird rates till Feb 9.

GOT A CHAINSAW?
We are hoping to put together a crew to chop fallen trees but it hasn't happened yet. Bottle Top has quite a few trees down. Some chainsaw folks were out on Bridle Path and we thank you! I have decided to purchase a chainsaw and learn some new skills.

TRAIL CONDITIONS
We ran on Saturday on hard-packed snow (and practiced squats getting under trees). Many trails are okay with Yaktrax or Microspikes. I'm really enjoying the Microspikes for the great grip and confidence booster.
The berm is not in great shape. And there's a stretch of Baden-Powell between Twin Falls bridge and Lillooet Road that has quite a few trees down and the stairs are icy.
The dog walking trails are best because they are packed down.
If you have been up to Neds, let me know how it went.

ORIENTATION RUNS/RIDES 8:30 a.m.
Okay, so where's the rain when we need it?
-Feb 7 we are doing orientation runs from LSCR for 25 and 15 km groups. Drive all the way north on Lillooet Road past the new filtration plant.
-Feb 7 a ride is scheduled from Jaycee House (weather permitting).
-Feb 7 ultra run starts at LSCR. I'm not sure who will show up but you can always run with our 25 km group and add an extra loop. I will provide detailed instructions and maps. (Some of our leaders are ultra runners and we have several pace groups.) Drive all the way north on Lillooet Road past the new filtration plant.
P.S. The gazebo fell down! It looks like a bike ramp now.

GREENING
On race day, we are encouraging racers to refill their own water containers this year so we can cut back on paper cups. There will be lots of water at all the aid stations except Neds. (If anyone wants to help bring water down Mushroom Trail from Mt Seymour picnic area Friday night Mar 6, let me know! It's an adventure.)

VOLUNTEERS-WE NEED YOU
Please contact Heather if you can volunteer for race day Sat Mar 7. We have morning and afternoon jobs. You get an automatic free race entry for The Phantom Run in November.
