August flew by without a blog post from me… but it has been a fun month!
We have been busy with the NOMAD 48 Hour Adventure Race, the Dead Fred AR, and the Bears Ears AR. All three races had their tough, yet memorable, sections that we, as race directors, feared racers would hate… but they loved! Bike pushing up mountain sides, bike-whacking through tick infested grasslands, and determining your route over a sea of down trees is apparently what adventure racers really want. I guess we had better forget about that flowy single track we are always looking for to add to our races. You people want a “suffer-fest”!
There are two more races left for this crew in 2019, the Trailblazer Adventure on September 7 and the Fig on November 2. The Trailblazer Adventure will be at Hisey Park in Warren County, Ohio. It is a fundraiser for the Little Miami Watershed Network and a very beginner friendly course with educational checkpoints. Join us to support the conservation effort on the Little Miami River and to learn a thing or two while you race. Then gear up for the Fig in November. This race is a crowd favorite with awesome views throughout the Red River Gorge area. It is a 12 hour race, but it is really a sprint across the rock formations of this natural awe inspiring place.
