Wow, what a crazy week! Just last Friday we get the news that Cal Eco Downieville expedition was cancelled. We quickly regrouped and decided to try and make Paul and Karens race down in Big Bear Lake area.With only a week to get gear and more importantly crew togeather is was going to be tough! I spent the entire Labor Day weekend calling and emailing everybody I knew to see if they could help us out for the weekend. After 50 attempts I came up empty. We contacted Jen and Galen from baarbd.org and decided to join forces. Jen would race as our female and Galen would be our crew. We also decided to register as a 4 some. Which consisted of a 3 person co-ed team “Dirty Avocados - baarbd.org” and a solo “Uno Avocado”. Since the only team configuration options are 3 and solo. Now were on the road to so cal and we have to be in Big Bear by 6pm for pre race meeting. Race start is 2 hours away near some music festival and race starts at 5am! No camping and no prearranged motels or place for us to crash or organize! Jesus! Basically the race has started! Stay tuned…
