I think I'll get back from norway the day before so might be able to go. I'll probably have to drive home after to work in the morning as I'll be behind.


They should have spectators to riches. The people in the comp ride for the fun of the sport and the spectators win all the money.

100%. Get a crew together and stay for the weekend! R2R was one of the highlights of last season for me. Skiing and hanging out with the crew from NS is always a great time!

There is a raffle, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where to enter the raffle. Honestly if you made a phone call or two you could get invited tho.

Would anyone like to split a small,cheap hotel room to make it an even smaller and cheaper hotel room?

Last year we fit 5 of us on a queen sized bed. It's totally doable.

Could be interesting to see what come about if this. Early comp date, extended forecast still very poor.

Good thing they want to have a FIS race there next year in November. Lol.
