AR Militia Takes First Place At The Nocturnal

AR Militia took first place in the 18-Hour adventure race known as the Nocturnal Challenge in St. Cloud, Fl over the weekend. Completed the course in 15 hours and 39 minutes. The top three teams were separated by a mere 10 minutes. Team Super Frogs and Team Fl Extreme took second and third places respectively. We hear they had quite a battle on the last trek and sprinted the last two miles down a sandly road for the finish. Congrats guys (and girls) and to all the other racers who came out there and battled the night.


Here's a picture of our split times:




Here's some video from our race. This was shot on the HD Hero Cam which shoots 1080p and is waterproof to 180'. It's a pretty baddass little device.

Orlando Mountain Bike Park Underway

Our team headed out this past Saturday to help with clearing the landed that is going to become Orlando's first (and only) mountain bike park. We were there for about 3 hours in the sweltering heat clearing vegetation. There was a tremendous turnout with well over 75 people, congratulations to the promoter for making this such a great event. In September the course designer is going to lay out the course. We hear that initially it will consist of a long yellow loop (easy) with off-shoots on to harder tracks. The second phase will expand the project so that the trails will actually run through the old military barracks and some dirt pump tracks.

Here's a link to the facebook page for more information.
