Welcome to my weblog -- I'm happy to join the CycleBetter.com program, especially since I expect my posts to be only about 25% specific to just cycling. I'll experiment over the next few months to find what works best; right now, I'll publish my cycling posts exclusively to the main CycleBetter feed and keep all my other adventure racing stuff just on my blog alone. So, check out the main site to get pure biking material; check out my little corner of CycleBetter to get adventure racing stuff along with the biking material.
I guess I should introduce myself and all that; I'm one of the guilty parties that started Hampton Roads Adventure (www.HRAdventure.com) as a grassroots multi-sport organization that puts on races in Virginia. We're not a business, but a group of people who love getting outside and running ourselves ragged. Our races are growing in popularity so I guess there's lots of other people who like running ragged too. Mountain biking figures prominently in adventure racing and there are many pro mountain bike riders who have gone on to have huge pro careers as adventure racers (Michael Tobin from Team Nike ACG, Nathan Fa'vae from Kiwi Team Seagate [Balance Vector now], and many more) -- so I expect this CycleBetter.com site to become a good resource for adventure racers looking to CycleBetter and I hope to contribute to the cause.
If you haven't a clue what adventure racing is, read this quick summary of adventure racing.
