Ripe for Racing!

Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing is well into our 2009 season. We've ticked off strong showings at the first 3 NorCal ARs and the first couple of Big Blue ARs. We also represented at the Coolest 24, a 24 hour MTB race. We won the 5-person team category and one of us placed 2nd in the solo singlespeed category. 

In July, two Dirty Avocados teams will be headed to upstate New Hampshire for Untamed New England, a 3-day expedition AR. We're looking forward to several days of adventure and exploration in some of northern New England's most rugged territory!

Later this summer, we'll head to Lake Tahoe for what is always a super 24hr AR. Finally we'll wrap up 2009 with what should one of most epic adventures of the year: Gold Rush Motherlode!

Train hard, race harder, and be safe.

36 Hr planet adventure race report
Posted on June 22, 2009 Comments: 1
When first asked to race the Planet Adventure Old School race, I was hesitant, but knew I couldn’t turn the opportunity down; the race would be a great training for the upcoming Untamed New England race, it would incorporate swimming and ropes, and I knew Kyle and Brian would be fast. The following is an account of the race. read more...

What is adventure racing?
Adventure racing is a combination of two or more disciplines, including orienteering and navigation, cross-country running, mountain biking, paddling and climbing and related rope skills. An expedition event can span ten days or more while sprints can be completed in a matter of hours. Typically there is no “dark period” during races, regardless of their length – the choice when (and if) to rest is left to the competitors.
Adventure racing is classically a co-ed team sport. Nonetheless, many races now permit "teams" of 1 to 5 persons, single-sex or co-ed, and sometimes include age-based categories.
