Every year an event comes along that tests mental and physical strengths of its racers like no other. Pisgah Productions proudly presents the hardest (and most fun) thing you will do this year….. the DOUBLE DARE.
Teams of two riders will race to reach up to 10 checkpoints (CPs) per day, two days in a row. The race begins at 10AM on Saturday and every team must be back before 10PM. The race resumes at 6AM Sunday with 10 brand new checkpoints. Every team must finish before 6PM on Sunday. Teams ‘in the running’ should expect up to 70 miles of riding with 12,000-15,000 feet of climbing each day.
SINGLE-DARE! The one-day category at Double-Dare!!! Teams of two riders will race up to 10 checkpoints, in any order, and return to the start/finish the fastest. Checkpoint locations will remain secret until start time and there is no suggested route. Start time for the one-day category will be 10AM Saturday and Final cutoff will be 10PM.
For both DOUBLE-DARE and SINGLE-DARE:
There will be nothing at the checkpoints other than pre-existing landmarks. Every team must carry a reliable digital camera to photograph the landmarks as proof of being there.
