I'm hosting a training race workout in Hood River on Saturday April 19th. It's completely unofficial and unsupported. If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP ahead of time directly to Dave

Here's how it's shaping up:

Starting in Hood River, it will be a kayak based "backbone" course to simulate what we'll get at the Lake Mead Desert Winds race in May. We'll paddle, get out, do some short orienteering loops on bike or foot, paddle again, get out, repeat... I even have a great rappel option on some beautiful basalt cliffs if you are up for it.

So far, it's about 25 miles - which should take about 8-10hrs.
This can easily be extended, or we can break it up into two sections
so some of it happens in the dark.

As a bonus "extension" for the hardcore crew, there is a very fun century ride in The Dalles on Sunday morning. "A Cherry of a Ride".

The Gorge flowers and blossoms should just be starting to peek out, so with the right weather, it will be fantastic!
Hope to see you!
