Paradise Adventure Race - Update
We now have three teams set up for the race. This should be a lot of fun, especially since we have some "newbies" on our teams. It is always incredible to watch the someone cross the finish line of first race - their smiles just wont' quit!!!
Side note, if anyone needs a kayak - rumor has it that North Rim Adventure Sports in Chico will rent kayaks for this event at a special rate of $15.day
Per Michelle at Trailhead Adventures, the latest on the routes will be as follows:
First Event – Run – Starting at the little Ranger cabin/parking area at the end of Lucretia Drive (at the south end of Paradise Lake), run back up Lucretia Drive to Coutolenc Drive, go left on Coutolenc, to Doone Grade – go up Doone Grade to turn around point, then return back to start.
Second Event – Mtn. Bike – after your partner tags you, go from the parking area northerly along the lake, all the way to the boat launch area – then go northerly, up Northlake Road, to Coutolenc Road. Turn left on Coutolenc, continue northerly until almost to Lovelock – turn right before Lovelock on Doon Grade, follow Doon southerly all the way down to Coutolenc Road, the back down to Lucretia, and back to the starting area.
Third Event – Kayak – Will start from the parking area, circle out around the lake somewhere, and finish back at the parking area.
If you want to see this on a map, try www.map24.com it is a pretty cool mapping tool, that even allows you to see the distances between points.
Somehow I need to get out and ride this "doon" grade, that is the bike route. The gearheads around work are all saying it is a pretty tough ride......
