Glennon Simmons  > Adventure Racing > 2007 Texas State Championship Sprint Adventure Race Series > 07.28.07 Austin Muleshoe Bend Adventure Race Photoessay
The Austin Muleshoe Bend Adventure Race was held on Saturday, 07.28.07, at the Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area on Lake Travis. This race is the fourth of the Richardson Bike Mart Texas State Championship Sprint Adventure Race Series ™. You can find out more about this event at http://www.terrafirmapromo.com. An adventure race is a multi-disciplinary team race, usually involving trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking, but can include just about any outdoor sport or skill.

I have many more photos from this race; however, I have limited this gallery to my favorites. These are generally the ones that tell the story of the event. Please feel free to leave comments, especially names, details, etc., on the images, and please, share this galley with your friends. I will announce major changes and new additions to the gallery on my blog.

Sincerely,

Glennon Simmons
