It's almost uncanny; even in Danbury there is hardly any snow, but as soon as you cross the border, sham-wow!CB2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01024419369112347720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-39757937372867952542010-03-01T14:12:41.485-05:002010-03-01T14:12:41.485-05:00I am going to do an underground race this Spring/e...I am going to do an underground race this Spring/early summer- No money, homemade hand painted number plates, 30 people (tough to paint the number plates so that keeps the numbers low), bottle of wine for the winner, fastest person down the mountain and then back up enduro style going at 1 minute intervals....<br />It is a timed gentlemans race that I hope to replicate again (number plates are laminated) in the late summer then the fall.<br />Look for a post on my blog at the end of the month March as I should have a handle on the logistics...<br /><br />when is it going to stop snowing?Georges Rouanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18203611002255565429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-45811350428041390912010-02-01T16:23:34.168-05:002010-02-01T16:23:34.168-05:00I put one together along the CT River.

I assume extending the distance is tough unless you have an obvious way to show the route. Although, WH res North & South and Penwood create a pretty obvious closed loop.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629741034989840981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-77749568512575697522010-01-30T17:38:47.548-05:002010-01-30T17:38:47.548-05:00I would leave the money out, I think it could make...I would leave the money out, I think it could make things a little weird.

I suspect a waiver is a requirement and insurance of some sort is a good idea, which takes a large part of the race entries. <br /><br />I think it is a good idea. I would love to have a small track race series here based on the same concept, but afraid of getting sued.Fort Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864672502176766391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-78674576739725608952010-01-26T11:28:57.038-05:002010-01-26T11:28:57.038-05:00THE BLACKNIGHT IS IN.THE BLACKNIGHT IS IN.Black Night MTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710382537134724075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-41029026316895499042010-01-25T21:18:54.590-05:002010-01-25T21:18:54.590-05:00Count me in.

There usually is no prize money, and sometimes cost of entry is a donation to local trails organization. Timing is honor system, sometimes a GPS track file is required for validation of completing whole route. Some links are <a href="http://nmes.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">NMES</a>, <a href="http://www.topofusion.com/azt/race.php" rel="nofollow">AZT300</a> and <a href="http://rockyroad5050.wordpress.com/aes-results/" rel="nofollow">AES</a>. I'd be interested in a local "grassroots" race, although not a 300 or 750 miler.Hill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901432169252097296noreply@blogger.com
