There is a mountain bike event up in Cuyuna on August 18th - supporting the MN Off Road Cyclists - and could use some volunteers!!
The form and info to fill out is here:

I talked to a few peeps about this, they said - what if it's windy? I would say if you would be willing to come and help out -sign up for early shifts so you can get your kite on as well - it's only a half hour away from Mille Lacs!!
Or if you want to race, do it! Should be a great time. And bring people to cheer you on and to sign up for a short volunteer shift
.You will get a sweet T for volunteering, maybe a few other things as well - but will definitely be a good time - and you are close to the lake / up north for the weekend! What could be better
