Checkpoint Tracker Series - 2010

After a small hiatus from Co-Ed participation, the Waterlogged Dogwoods are planning on participating in the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Racing Series for 2010. It's also great news that Bushwhack Adventures will be hosting 5 events in North Carolina next year. We are not sure of how many series events we'll be able to squeeze in, but are excited about the future of Adventure Racing in the nation and the region. Wish us luck!!!

Dave

David’s a Raleigh native like all other Raleigh natives, being born and spending the first few years overseas moving to Raleigh in 5th grade. David has recently been hired by the City of Raleigh Fire Department and begins Recruit training in December 2011. He enjoys riding my mountain bikes and paddling around the ocean and lakes on my paddleboard. I’ve raced numerous xc and xxc mountain bike races and done well with them. I enjoy Adventure Racing the most because it requires such a strong team focus and it requires you to think and always be aware of how your teammates are doing. His favorite race food is sausage pizza and blue Gatorade. He looks forward to pushing his limits in many many more AR’s with Waterlogged Dogwoods.

Bob's generated bio for Mike: "I think Mike was originally from NC and is a UNC Grad - GO TARHEELS. He is currently living in Northern VA and works as a defense contractor.
