2008 Boat and Bike Race
The 2008 Deerfield Fest will be featuring a combination of mountain biking and down river racing.
The mountain biking portion will be along the Dunbar Brook Trail that passes through the Monroe State Forest. Competitors will start the mountain biking portion at the trail intersection with Main Rd. and finish at River Rd. (an approximate 45 minute ride).
From here competitors will pick up their choice of down river craft (Kayak, Canoe, etc) and carry it down to the Class III-IV Dryway. Participants will then head down stream and finish the race when they and their craft have reached the time keepers at the top of the stairs at the takeout.
Teams of two are allowed with one person doing the mountain biking and the other the river portion. Teams will be in a different category than the other individual competitors. The second team member will meet the first team member at the completion of the mountain biking portion of the race.
Competition entry will be $10 per person (cash or check only).
