Note from NSAR: Nat and I would like to thank Bob for putting on another quality event in our backyard, the weather was great and we had a blast. See you all next year, and bring an extra team with you!

The race will be fun. The course is great, lots of mud, woods, rocks, views, bonus points, and the money will be won. There are places even the locals have never seen. Time and bonus points could be a big factor.

We have added a new page called That’s a Paddlin’ and are re-posting some of the articles that Bob had written for our newsletter ‘The Cut’ which did not make the cut. We will try and get a new/old one posted every couple of weeks until we run out of them so be sure to check the page for updates and new paddling tips.

- NSAR

We are just getting things set up for 2009, so stay tuned for more to come.

Bob has some great plans for this year’s event and is so exicted about it he has already made up his posters. If you would like to find out more about the 2009 edition of the race check out the Frigid in 2009 page and to see some pictures from last year go to  the Frigid in 2008 link.

Keep checking back for updates!

cheers
