Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing has been racing their tails off this year! We've hit it hard at the BAAR Brawl, NorCal AR, Baja Travesia, and Sea Otter. And we’ve represented—grabbing top ten spots at Baja and Sea Otter.
Primal Quest Montana is still at the center of our radar. And we’re gearing up two teams for this one! Our certifications are complete. Our training is coming together nicely. But our patience for the start is fading!!
We continue to support Make-A-Wish along our way to Primal Quest. June 1st’s raffle for a FREE custom bike frame is coming soon. Click here to get yourself and your friends raffle entries now!

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.

Review: Billabong, Buckwheat Crunchies, La Sportiva
Billabong, Buckwheat Crunchies, and La Sportiva are 3 of our sponsors and over the last few months I've tried their products. I've tried their products in various situations: training, racing, and casually. In all situations, all 3 products performed superbly!
