This email list is probably the best place to come for AR in the 
area...  I think we at Team Triangle Adventure Racing need to 
apologize a bit, as we are not nearly as active as we were a year or 
two ago.  That comes from the fact that I've had a knee injury, Bruce 
has had back surgery, and Charlie has moved to Asheville.  However, we 
still do get together some and participate in the local orienteering 
races, etc.

You can check out our web site, www.triangle-ar-team.com, for a list 
of events.  Unfortunately the triangle area is somewhat limited. 
Bruce puts on an annual sprint race for Firemen and Policmen that this 
year is open to the public, and that is the only real race in the 
area.  However, if you are willing to venture out just a few hours 
from here, there are many races.  Again, see the events calendar on 
our web site for a fairly good listing.

Finally, just start posting here about when and where you plan to do 
some training, and you'll likely get someone to show up.  :-)
