NYARA Races and Clinics

April Fool's Rogaine

Harriman State Park - Bear Mountain, NY
1 April 2006


 

Teams of 2 or solos will travel by foot and bike throughout the vast acreage of Harriman State Park searching for controls. You will travel along the parks roads and trails. There will be separate drop-off areas where teams will enter the woods. These areas will be staffed so you needn't worry about your bike. Road or mountain bikes welcome!

Each control will have a point value. Teams must strategize in determining which controls to go after and still make it back before the cut-off. Teams arriving late will have points deducted from their total: the highest valued control for each minute beginning at 4:01PM MY time!! The sweet thing is that you can do as much of the course as you like! The course will be friendly at all levels 'cos YOU pick the CPs to go after!
