I am about to embark on maybe one of the hardest things I have ever done on a mtbike...it has been said to be slightly easier than the Off-Road Assault on Mt Mitchell which I have done and can't wait to tackle it again in attempt to beat my time!

My next adventure is the Pisgah Mountain Bike Adventure Race. It is a collection of about 7 checkpoints...2 mandatory of which you must get one...you can get as little as 4 total...in a given amount of time (12-14 hours) The number of checkpoints and their locations are not revealed until the start of the race.
