2009 was a season we will not forget!  Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing kicked off the year with strong showings at the all of NorCal Adventure Races and several of the Big Blue Adventure Races (the 2 biggest adventure racing series in California).  We also represented at the Coolest 24, a local 24-hour mountain bike race.  We won the 5-person team category and took 2nd in the solo singlespeed category.

As the summer unfolded, 2 Dirty Avocados teams headed to upstate New Hampshire for Untamed New England, a 3-day expedition adventure race.  What an experience that was!!  The terrain was rugged and the competition was fierce!  We also tackled Sierras for what is always a super 24hr adventure race: the Tahoe Big Blue 24. We wrapped up 2009 with one of most epic adventures of the year: Gold Rush Motherlode!  This was 4 days of rugged, weathery adventure racing good times!

A late addition to our 2009 race calendar was the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge.  This was probably thee most unique and unbelievable adventure racing experiences we’ve had as a team so far.  Everything from the culture to the competition to the terrain blew our minds! 2010 is already starting to take shape.

 

An early highlight will be another epic adventure half way across the globe: Australia’s XPD Expedition Adventure Race.  We’ll also be racing all of the local adventure races–especially those in the new Checkpoint Tracker Series.  And, long-term, we’re looking forward to September’s Desert Winds Expedition outside of Las Vegas. Yea, baby!
