I have mailed in my waiver for the first ever Trans North Georgia MTB "Adventure" so I guess now I'm committed. I'm actually pretty excited because I've been wanting to do a race like this for some time now. I love racing through the night in adventure races - something about the moonlight makes me come alive while others tend to want to go to sleep. I feed off of it...it moves me.
I have some pretty high expectations for this race. My goal is 3 days, though I'd be happy to beat that time, because my friend Carey has already warned me that she intends to crush whatever time I happen to post if the race..er.."adventure" happens next year. Ok, so she didn't use those exact words but I know she'll be gunning for me, so I have some serious work to do.
I have a nice recovery week coming up, which is good, so I can catch back up on all the things I've been slacking off at over the past 3 weeks.
TransRockies 2008
I'm 31 years old and addicted to mountain biking, sweet tea, and Thai food. I work as a civil engineer to support my addiction. I like campfires, 5 mile climbs on my singlespeed, and long walks in the woods. I'm a woman and I can actually read a map. 8 hours a day on my bike for 7 days straight sounds like a darn fine vacation to me. For some reason I'm exceptionally good at carrying my bike around. I'm married with a new baby girl and three spoiled cats. My husband can be credited with starting my mountain bike addiction and he is a great enabler, as he keeps me rolling.

Hey, if you plan on pre-riding any sections, holler at me. I am most sure I will have my work cut out for me, trying to beat your time. You have more experience in the "adventure" part of a race like this one. You will do well, for sure!
me too! i have no plans to race this one for at least a year (or maybe 5) but would love to join on the recon rides.
