A Rambling about Races

Most of you know we held the first ever in Iowa Gladiator Assault Challenge in May of this year with about 1500 people taking on the course ............great weekend by the way............and we are hosting another one in May of 2013 as well.

But did you know we are hosting a Cross Country Mountain Bike Race on August 5.............it is a points race for those who are in the sport.............spectators are free........

And did you know that our annual 12 and 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race will be held on September 8 and September 9......this is a very cool event.   Imagine your team having one rider on the trail for every minute of a continuous 12 or 24 hour period.  Pretty cool to see the bikes and riders with their light on the bike and a light on the helmet winding their way thru the course............more info can be found at www.24hoursofsevenoaks.com

AND I bet you did know that Boone is the site for the Boone Speedway...........a quarter mile dirt track with IMCA races every Saturday night during the season.  This track has been in existance for over 40 years and draws in excess of 2,000 fans each week  Of course the biggie is the IMCA Supernationals ........this year September 3 thru 8..............and man oh man what a crowd of race cars, fans and pit crews they draw.  www.raceboone.com is the offical web site.

What isn't a race is a leisure float down the river in a canoe or kayak or in a tube............just taking it all in.......
