We’re less than two weeks from the Birkie and the latest few model runs (off the GFS, so this means pretty much nothing, but we can still pick out trends) have all been pointing at a typical race. Which is great. It means a starting temperature around 10, a little snow between now and then, and upper teens to 20 by the time most of the field hits the lake. If all the weather speculation I do for the next week is talk about how no news is good news, I’ll take it. But I wouldn’t count on it. It would be too easy!
