Seriously, you can't make this s#%& up...

As if the last Checkpoint Zero Adventure Race wasn't cold enough (hint: it was)...it seems the elders that have been publishing the Almanac since 1792 see another dose of the chills coming our way.

Specifically, the Almanac portends "cold temperatures and normal to above normal precipitation, with more precipitation in the south" for NC, SC and GA.

Rest assured we learned something this past March and have been designing next year's course such that support crews will be better situated to both withstand nasty weather and provide a higher level of support than was possible at Ice Station Zebra on the shores of Lake Burton during the 2008 CZAR.

Registration for the 2009 Checkpoint Zero Adventure Race is open and the first 10 teams to register and submit payment will get CP0 branded Headsweats.
