In 2008, Too Cool brings a newer, cooler Big Chill Adventure Race back to beautiful Bastrop, Texas. This year we will offer both a sport and an adventure class. Expect 6-12 hours of river paddling, trekking and biking in the sport class with beginner to intermediate navigation. The adventure class will feature intermediate to advanced navigation and have race participants river paddling, trekking and biking for up to 24 hours. Of course, participants can expect ropes and special tests along the way as well as over $2,000 dollars in awards and prizes! The race will happen rain, snow, or shine, so be prepared for any type of weather. No support is necessary for this race. Race headquarters will be next to the swimming pool at Bastrop State Park. "Too Cool" has booked 12 extra tent camping sites at the Deer Run camping area. Please contact Too Cool us as soon as possible at art@toocoolracing.com to reserve a padded site. There is plenty of room for primitive camping in the t/a area, but padded sites w/ tables must be reserved through us. We highly recommend you reserve something soon, because this is a very popular park. Come join us and you will see why! |
