USSA RACERS AND FAMILY ………………………………

Yes, USSA cancelled the Brule Finale Race for this weekend at Ski Brule.  We are all aware as to why this was the responsible thing to do, even if we are disappointed that it has been cancelled.   It’s my FAVORITE event of the year!! 
So what does this mean?  Do we sit back and cry over it?  NO WAY!  That is NOT the Brule way of handling things.  We aren’t going to sit and cry over spilled milk … NO WAY!  Brule is going to turn that spilled milk into the most amazing milkshake you’ve ever had!
HOW??
