Dear friends,

as I wrote before we were driving all night long from Rostock to Lake Lipno to check ice conditions here.

Launch Site Lake Lipno, World Championships, Dawn Photo,

When we arrived at 06:30. Temperature was -10°C

Iceconditions: hard ice about 15cm - 20cm thick, partly bumpy. (Some areas are thinner but that doesn't concern us)

So this is the FINAL DECISION:
LAKE LIPNO; CERNA V POSUMAVI (Village); CZECH REPUBLIC.

weather forecast:

Race office will be in Hotel Racek. Drive direction "Jestrabi" and you will find it on the left side.

Launching area will be direct opposite the road on the beach.

I wish you a good journey, drive safe and THINK ICE

Just in from JD

I just got this text from JD.

In czech. Mountain lake near Cerna. Great ice in a beautiful setting. Good practice day today. 14 countries represented. No internet at this time.

That sounds pretty good and it sounds like the team had a good day.
