IsoSeries
The
IsoSeries Yuki Joy is the first adventure race series in the Piedmont-Triad open
to the community in recent memory. The Triad has got great rivers to
paddle, some serious back road hills to bust your quads pedaling, and
hidden gems of backcountry trekking areas. Our first was at the well known Pilot Mountain State Park. This "12 hour" race is to be surpassed this year by the second IsoSeries race, May 9th, 2009 centering around Hanging Rock State Park.

Thank you to all the people that came out this weekend and raced! I hope everyone had a great time. The volunteers were great
and I can't thank them enough! We had a few new teams out there this weekend, I ran into one new racer the next
day while cleaning the course who decided to go hike Moore's Knob again, to really get the view!
The OFFICIAL results will be out sometime tomorrow. There has been some re-ordering, and I'm just making note of the TA
splits before they go online.
Thanks again! Keep racing!
Second Capt's letter. Also, please check the team list to make sure you are listed under the right category.
A few teams have switched around memebers lately.

First Captain's Communication
04/10/09
We're up to 14 teams now! registration keep rolling in, and we're going to have some good competition for
all those teams that come out.
The first captain's communication will be coming out this weekend, but for a little info for those looking, group
camping is now free for the racers! The host campground, Moore's Spring Campground, has offered us a good deal
and we're going to roll the cost of camping into your registration fees. TO NOTE: There IS NOT potable water at
the campground (you can treat the creeks) nor showers. The closest campground with facilities is Hanging Rock State
Park, though their gates don't open till 8am and race start is 7am.
The course looks great, we've got Christine and crew going out to pre-run it, as she is gearing up for a 24 hour race in June.
as always, any questions, please email us

We haven't had an update in a while, but the work has continued on the race! We are up to 11 confirmed teams,
more than we had last year, with a few weeks left to go. We want to announce that
the guys at Madathlete.com are also now in on this race!
We have some updates we want to get out there:
Race start/finish will be at a soon to be disclosed location. There will be free camping at this location
The race start will be at 7am, the maps will be given out slightly before the race start, at the pre-race meeting
There will be hills, there will be many. There is a neat nav option we are planning that will let you choose how many hills you want
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to email us

First update! This race is looking to be even more fun than the last one. The terrain at Hanging Rock State Park is
varied and rugged and the area around it is known for it's rolling piedmont hills.
We are also happy to announce we are working with Forest Games for this race. They have been closed to the
public for a year or two, but are reopening their trails to us for this race! Some might remember this area as
the location of a 24 Hour MTB endurance race a few years back.
We are also pleased to be working with Ken's Bike Shop again in Winston-Salem. If you need anything done
to your bike before race day, they know how to keep a bike running for an Adventure Race (the Isotopes have
been using them for a few years) and would be glad to help you out.
We are currently retaining the name "Yuki Joy" for the race. Nobody really understands why we have this name
and nobody really likes it, but, everyone remembers it, so here we are.
