24 hours of skiing = Perfect Duluth Day
That's a pretty weak title, I know ...Anyways, I'm coming to town on January 5 to do a race over in Cable, Wisc. called the 24 Hours of Telemark. Basically, I'm going to cross-country ski around a five kilometer loop from 10am Saturday until 10am Sunday and [hopefully] will go farther than anyone else, thus validating my existance and further stoking my massive ego.
Right now, my dad (the [in]famous Willy Cork), my brother (cartooning genius Jeff Cork), my girlfriend (Britta Keenan) and a host of others (rock impressario Brad Nelson, Dan Behrans and Rich Narum, Chris Godsey and Hot Rod Heartthrob, probably some others I'm forgetting) are planning on coming over to drink beer and hand me water bottles through the night. It should be a good time. There are rumors of a certain punk-blues band playing, and the possible appearance of a tour bus. Unconfirmed rumors.
If you have any inkling to come over and chill (ha ha!) at Telemark Lodge, e-mail or call me or talk to one of those people I just mentioned above. Thanks ...
