| PROVIDENCE RESTAURANTS, RIVER WALK, WATERFIRE - Providence, RI Date/Time: Contact: Alison ODonnell Status: Proposed PROVIDENCE RESTAURANTS, RIVER WALK, WATERFIRE - Providence, RI Providence has some amazing restaurants. Fine dining on Federal Hill, ethnic cuisine and a walk along the artsy Thayer St. near Brown University, perhaps a movie at the avant garde Avon Theatre. There's even buffalo wings and local brews to sample! Also: Providence offers an exciting River Walk and WaterFire, which Alison would also like to check out once in a while. Make plans with Alison to spend a night or two enjoying what Providence, RI has to offer. If you are not familiar with Providence, the group can meet at Alison's place and head out from there.

| X-C Ski at Windblown | |
| X-C SKI AT WINDBLOWN - New Ipswich, NH - 3/7, 10am Date/Time: Sunday 3/7/2010 10:00:00 AM Contact: Ken Leonard Status: Running X-C SKI AT WINDBLOWN - New Ipswich, NH - 3/7, 10am Springtime cross-country skiing at Windblown. Click the link for rates, rental information, and directions. Your Webmaster does mostly greens and some blues. This will not be a race--just enjoying the woods. If you've never done this before, it's a great time to learn (Windblown can supply ski rentals, and they can do lessons if you prefer that). Possible carpools/caravans from Dascomb Rd. in Andover and Rte 119/495 in Littleton, MA--RSVP to Your Webmaster for that. RSVP to Your Webmaster so he'll know to meet you at around 10am near the ski racks at the base lodge. Check the on-line hotline just in case ski conditions deteriorate. If they do, this could change to a hike at Kidder Mt. or another nearby trail.

| Hike or Ski Tuckerman Ravine | |
| HIKE OR SKI TUCKERMAN RAVINE - Crawford Notch, NH - 3/28 Date/Time: Sunday 3/28/2010 Contact: Randy Cheyne Status: Running HIKE OR SKI TUCKERMAN RAVINE - Crawford Notch, NH - 3/28 Randy writes: Once again, starting early at the Joe Dodge lodge, hike the Tuckerman Ravine trail to the bowl. Hikers hang out on the rocks and watch the crazies. Skiers/Boards assault the rim and ride down. Steep slopes above the treeline. Best scenery in NH. The hike in is almost 3 miles, mostly uphill. We won't be setting records uphill. Potential weather requires layers, serious preparation. This site describes the area. Weather or dangerous conditions will postpone. Please email the host if you have questions or want to join and get the start time and location.

| Wildcat Wildfire Pentathlon | |
| WILDCAT WILDFIRE PENTATHLON - Glen, NH - 4/17 Date/Time: Saturday 4/17/2010 Contact: Randy Cheyne Status: RSVP WILDCAT WILDFIRE PENTATHLON - Glen, NH - 4/17 Randy is looking for participants! Randy writes: Who wouldn't be interested charging a fun leg of this race? Your choice: 6 mile run, 6 mile white water kayak, 18 mile bike, 2 mile (uphill) hike, 1 mile ski. All positions available, especially the kayak (April, White Mountains). Rules require a coed team. What a great reason to keep those running or gym appointments through the winter. Note: This is NOT the heavier duty Inferno Race held on the same day. I race to complete and have a good time. A better description of the race is here. There is a small entry fee. Please don't make me do this alone! Team naming rights available!
