If you've read this far, thought maybe you'd like to know a bit more about the series...this is the first of what I hope to be somewhere in the vicinity of 8 or so races like this. The courses will be increasingly more complicated, ending in a brutal endurance fest sometime in January or February, depending on how long the "winter" weather holds out. Just like any race I put on, you can ride whatever bike you want to, but I would recommend at least *trying* to put some knobbier tires on your bike, if you can. This first one won't be as critical because I don't really expect it to rain and I've ridden the hike and bike on every bike I've owned with no crashes (knocking on wood). Future ones will be in as deep of mud as I can find for you and with as many hills as possible in city parks and such. Just a quick idea of what/where I'm talking about...Waterloo park in the nastiest rain storm we have. Sound like fun? I think so.

I'm so freaking PUMPED about this race, as well as the promise of more to come. Road bike + dirt and muck is SO much fun.
