Hi Sherry.  Can you forward this message to the MCF and GW group lists. I can't send to them.  I got a reply from the moderator claiming they would avaluate and forward if appropriate and let me know but I haven't heard anything.  Thanks

Greetings from Ride and  Glide Bike and Ski CLub
It's that time of year again. The unofficial beginning of the Cross Country ski season. If you joined us last year I hope you will consider returning. If not, think about it this year. You are receiving this because your name was found on various cycling e-mail lists in the Twin Cities area. Pardon if you receive this twice, there are undoubtedly overlaps. If you've already signed up welcome to the club. 

This will be our 11th year. Our goal is to provide cross country skiing instruction to cyclists, skiers and other fitness enthusiasts in the Twin Cities area. We also do structured workouts using the technique drills so our participants can get instruction and a workout at the same time. Many good skiers join just to find other skiers to ski and train with but beginners and never-evers are welcome too. Our group got started with the purpose of giving cyclists a cross-training option and a way to keep fit during the winter months. We hope to increase participation in both sports by providing this link between cyclists and skiers. We keep close contact with County Cycles, Now Bikes and Fitness, Finn Sisu and The Minnesota Cycling Federation and Skinnyski.com. We've got several exciting things going this year. Expanded Snowmaking and lights at Wirth Park and we are spearheading efforts to get lights and snowmaking at Lake Elmo and other sites in the east metro.

So no matter who your are, racer or recreational, beginner or advanced, if you want to improve your fitness or your cross-country skiing technique, or if you're just interested in a fun activity where you will see your cycling buddies during the off-season, consider joining us this fall and winter. Fees are $55 for new members and $45 for returning members. There are discounts for early registration and also for skiing in the City of Lakes Loppet. (Our Club Championship) For further information, please check out our web site or respond to this e-mail. We start informal roller skiing in Sept and Oct and the first class is Nov 7. We typically fill up each year and have to turn people away so sign up early.
