The
BMA crew is looking forward to a change in scenery for our
final race this season at Golden Gate Canyon State Park (no, not
in San Francisco. Near Golden Colorado J).
We hope you can join us for this very beautiful race. Checkpoint
Panorama Point will leave you breathless (as may the ascent up
to it!)
Spread the Word!
We are hoping to inspire as many people as possible to join in
the adventure racing fun and comradery. Please share this
newsletter with friends and family who also have a taste for
adventure, and lets build a friendly and fun community of
adventure enthusiasts in Colorado. Got adventure? Get some

We met at the High Drive parking lot for a
