2011: Year of the Militia

Finally! The Atomic Adventure Race directors have announced the details for this year’s race. This year’s Atomic AR will be returning to Dawsonville, GA on May 14th.

The Atomic was 2010’s unicorn that we had in our scopes, but one wrong turn chased the majestic beast out of our grasp. The course was a challenging blast and we owe the Atomic a solid for a couple valuable lessons learned, for pushing us to new limits and for the taste of defeat that we needed to fuel our training. We’re grateful and we intend to pay back in full by destroying this year’s course.

In typical AR fashion the race directors will not provide all the race details or even a start location until the day before the race, but its probably safe to say that the race will again be starting in Amicalola Falls State Park at the base of the main falls, as for the rest of the race, your guess is as good as mine. We’re looking forward to our next bout with the Atomic; and we’ll be assaulting the course with a vengeance this year.

In the mean time we’ll be training and knocking out other local races. Pangea has their 2011 race calendar up with lots of races this winter and spring. Drop us a line if you want to join us for a race, ride or fun outdoors before Florida’s weather turns back into a humid inferno.

Here’s how the Atomic went for us last year... Militia Goes Atomic 2010
