Today made the final commitment to compete in an Adventure Raceon July 26th called Ocean Blue AR, in California near Half Moon Bay and El Granada in the Pillar Point Harbor area.

That’s in preparation for the BIG race: Big Blue Adventure, Lake Tahoe, California – September 20th, 2008.

The final commitment was securing a bike for both races.

I just paid $540 including tax for the 2008 model bike, upgraded pedals, mounted light, lock, 2 cages with water bottles and a one year service package.

Read reviews on Rate It All and MTBR. It’s considered a great value for the low price.

Dave and Lisa Adlard will transport my new wheels to both races, along with their own, by vehicle.

I’m still city commuting with my excellent Kona “Blast”. I’ll keep both bikes for now, the DB dedicated to Adventure Racing.
