Please read the gear list carefully and if you need gear please let me know via text of email, before Wednesday next week. Get your bikes checked this week.

I will be getting in touch with parents that are coming to ARC on Sunday. As the 8 hour is based at the campsite, I have put the same parent on for all the 8 hour teams. Karen if you want to come you are more than welcome and there is definitely enough room, just let me know what you want to do.

Also you should all be watching that ARC website as they put up information all the time such as:

Strong performance in Adventure Races can be put down to handful of key attributes, one of which is good planning. So to help you in your planning we are going to suggest three things:

1. Make sure you all have your compulsory gear - there will be a random check on the course and penalties will be given for missing gear. See race update 3 for full list of gear.
2. Practice joining your rope together - this will be critical for some of you - find the right knot to use
3. Bone up on your world geography, the history of adventure racing and multisport, explorers and acts of bravery.

The reason for number 3 is that in this years race we will be measuring teams intelligence and general knowledge. There will be a quiz incorporated in the race. Not trivia, but real important stuff! The winning team in the quiz will get to keep an Insomniac double kayak for a year.
