| Tiny: | Hey Nick, can you give us a few more details about the adventure race. What disciplines are included? |
| # Posted 2007-12-14 17:40:48 | |
| Nick: | the adventure race will have navigation on x-country skis ( like ski-orienteering ) and snow shoeing navigation ( more like a score O) and of course a small surprise ( no biking this time though ). wining time ? probably under 3 hours ( but over 2h) with a time limit of 5 h. more on skis then on snowshoes.various types of maps. teams will receive their package about 8.30/8.45 am. oh.. and we are praying for good conditions that day |

| Bash: | Best of all, the earlybird price for a team of three is $130 - that's the usual price per person for a winter AR, so hopefully it will inspire more people to give it a try. |

| Nick: | on line registration is now open ( see link above at the start of the thread ) |
| # Posted 2007-12-16 09:08:55 | |
| Bash: | The registration link was down tonight. Maybe it's a temporary blip with the big storm? |
| # Posted 2007-12-17 21:21:23 | |
| Nick: | also a reminder that Sunday , jan 27 there will be the famous Thomass O-event ( on foot ) just north of Toronto |

| Bash: | BTW, the registration link is working just fine now. It was a short-term thing on the night of the snowstorm. |

| Bash: | Although the website hasn't been updated yet, the regular price has been extended until this Monday evening, Jan. 14.
http://stars.kw.net/events/ Snow has started falling again today, but Nick has advised me that the race will go ahead - with some modifications - in the unlikely event that winter isn't back in 2 weeks. |

| Nick: | control flags were hanged yesterday afternoon/evening, conditions were good to very good, now they got another couple of inches of snow overnite and maybe little more to come today, and will make it for a great day. if still want to come out, send me an email, by friday 7-8 pm , to print more maps ( as on-line registration is closed ). see you |
