October 23, 2007 – The Arduum Challenge organizing team would like to thank all the volunteers and racers who came out on October 20 and 21 and made this event a success. The weather was terrible, the course was muddy, but a blast to ride… and you were still there. You guys deserve so many props. We had so much fun listening to the “adventure” tales, seeing the smiles and watching you “ride” what many were calling the hardest course they had ever ridden. You made it all worthwhile for us. In fact, we had so much fun and enjoyed ourselves so much we are discussing doing it again next year. We haven’t come up with dates yet, but we have ruled out the third week of October. Before the race, we had discussed some alterations to the course, making it even better. Look for updates and photos on the web site at www.arduumchallenge.com
