The Snob received an anonymous email today with the simple question, "What about adventure racing? Everything on your blog is about cycling." Point taken.
Let me clarify what I will and won't be referencing here on the blog. If the event doesn't make you navigate, it won't be spoken of. If it's not at least 24hrs in length, no thank you. Novelties and "special events," not bloody likely.
Some of you should be prepared to have me try to con you into this: MMM FUN!!
For the dreamers like me, the Primal Quest will be in our backyard (for an expedition race) in 2006. (That 8k for entry is pretty tough to pull off though.)
Side note: Anonymous doesn't live hear. If you post, own it and put your name.
Who's riding tomorrow night?

AR? What the hell is that?
It's pretty much the only way for mediocre athletes to be accepted into any sort of racing realm. It's called Adventure Racing because when a bunch of 'endurance' athletes get together to do things they really aren't good at, other than going far and long, they have "adventures!" Kind of like road trips and drugs.
The D St. AR will be a little different. I can't say much now, but it will definately cater to two specific skills.
With a few notable exceptions, Sam hit the nail on the head.
I find the AR quite interesting, and I certainly fit Sam's description, I'm game to try something less than a 24 hour but more than the state games for a start, main thing to me is to have fun and finish well. Let's find something that fits that and give a try, how bad can it be?
"How bad can it be?" Hasn't that question gotten you in trouble once before?
never in trouble, just shaking my a head a lot
Just want you to know that I am looking for an qualifying event. Don't think we could get ready for this one. http://www.berrymanadventure.com/gear.php
