Julia!
We sent Julia the short video we made during practice last week, and here is her response: "Wow, this is so cute! So amazing to see so many kids, tears in my eyes! Thanks for sharing!" Good luck to Julia and Team USA in the 2026 Winter Olympics!
Classic Time Trial
During our practice on Wednesday, we will be holding a super fun classic time trial (with lollipops at the end! It is Valentine's Day next week, after all...). ALL are welcome to participate, regardless of whether you are coming to the BKL Festival. READ HERE for everything you need to know about this event. PLEASE NOTE: Bib pick-up is 6-6:15, so if you are participating, we need you to get to the track a bit earlier than a typical Wednesday.
