April 6 - Gleneagles Semi-Urban Challenge

August 16 - Into the Night Ride

Sponsored by Carolina Orienteering Klub and held at Morrow Mountain State Park near Badin NC.  Held in the deceivingly tough Uwharrie Mountain Range the event will make for a real test of your skills.

With the new year rolling in many of the local O-clubs are releasing their meet schedules for 2008.  The BOK events listed under the first link are well produced meets with the most recent evolution being e-punches.  Having done the January meet at Umstead with the e-punches I heard nothing but great feedback from participants.  Also included is the Charlotte area club which produced the Dupont Bike-O and regular O-meet in the spring of 2007, having done both I can say both events were well produced and tough especially given the mountainous terrain of the Dupont State Forest.

 Our AR site of the week is the TarHeel Trailblazers Mountain Bike site from Charlotte NC.  Not just a MTB site but a great source of trail information for the Charlotte area, if you’re on the road or just looking for a diversion from the Triangle Trails check them out.

Another in the series of Night Mountain Bike rides sponsored by TORC.  Groups available for all ride levels, requires a minimum 10W front or helmet mounted light and waiver.  Great time to get in a spin after work and check out those lights before race season kicks back in!  Check out the link below for a list of all the scheduled area night rides.
