Sunday 5:30 PM

After a 4 day vacation in Aspirus/Wausau I am back on duty with the grooming crew. Snocross and I ran both Pisten Bullies on everything today and Partner and Wide Track rest all the classics except Puumala. Then they groomed the first 5 k of the SISU course into town. There is another SISU work bee Monday at noon, meet at the ABR wax barn. Wully Bully and I plan to open the Historic Trail Monday while the team of volunteers clears the next stage of the SISU. Tuesday we plan to take the Pisten Bullies into town on the SISU course.
