*** Sunday update ***

This just in from Brian…

Were on our way home. We all survived, but have lots of bumps bruises and things that linger.

The race was truely exteme! There was more danger and excitement than we or even some the staff had ever seen. Tons of details and pics to follow.

*** Wednesday update ***

Still waiting for the leader board to update with the Avocados status and rank. Looks as if they are still on the trek. With all the rerouting and weather and course changes, it is likely they are stuck in limbo. Weather calls for more light rain for next couple days.

*** Monday update ***

Thanks for your support while were at Raid The North. If you’re here to check on our teams race status and latest news, you’ve come to the right spot. However due to a glitch on the SleepMonsters.ca website our team seems to be “invisible”! As of today you wont see them on the Leader Board or the Send Message to a Team tool, but rest assured our teammates state-side are on it and doing what they can to contact SleepMonsters to get it cleared up. I’ve attempted to contact them multiple times but alais, no reply. You also wont find a race status or leader-board on the Raid The North website either. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a black hole. Bear with us while we try to obtain race updates as soon and as much as possible.

Raid the North website latest news.

With no cell service and one Internet cafe here in Rupert, we’ve felt a bit out of touch. Now with less than 24hrs before the start I’ve finally had a spare moment to check email. Here’s the skinny…

The race will be epic! Simply epic! We’re going to be exploring the Queen Charlotte Islands as well as the coastal mountains outside of Rupert. The visit to the Charlotte Islands is a privilege in itself. We’ll be going to places on these islands few have seen. Overall, it’s going to be a paddle heavy race. The trekking will be awesome, as we’ll hit two of the highest peaks on the islands along with some coasteering on some remote beaches. The biking will be sweet too. We’ll be covering some major distance on our rigs in order to get through all what’s in store.

The planning continues to be the most we’ve ever done for any event (AR or not) in our lives! Wish us luck that we have everything correctly sorted.

Gotta run. And this will be the last you hear from us until we’re finished. Check sleepmonsters.com for race updates. Talk to you next wkd!

Ripe for racing!!!!!!
