Gold Rush Adventure Races wants everyone to know that the Gold Rush Mother Lode
four day expedition adventure race has no intention of pulling the plug on our
event. Gold Rush Adventure Races provides top notch "Grass Roots" adventure
racing. We are not dependent on cash sponsors to make our event a reality. 
While other promoters are canceling their expeditions, the Gold Rush Mother Lode
is going strong.  You can put the Gold Rush Mother Lode on your event calendar
for November 4-8, 2009, and be confident that we'll have a great event laid out
for you when you get here.
 
Gold Rush Mother Lode had some new partners this year.  We are very excited
about Drymax socks.  This is not another wicking fabric sock.  Drymax is the
next quantum leap in sock technology.  Drymax Socks feature two different fiber
technologies interwoven in a dual layer system.  The inner layer is water
repelling and instantly transports the moisture to the outer layer to
evaporate.  I recently used these socks on a mountain biking trip that involved
quite a bit of pushing my bike through the snow.  As I pushed snow fell into my
well ventilated mountain bike shoes.  My feet never got wet or cold, it was
amazing and I am convinced that Drymax is the ultimate sock for adventure
racing.  The Drymax website has a really cool video demonstrating how Drymax
socks work.  Check them out at drymaxsports.com, or buy yourself a pair at
zombierunner.com.  
 
We are also receiving support from Royal Robbins, manufacturer of clothing for
outdoor enthusiasts.  I frequently wear Royal Robbins shorts for racing or when
I'm out scouting trails for Gold Rush Adventure Races.  They are extremely
durable and it's always great to have pockets for easy access to food and gear. 
Take a look at the Royal Robbins on-line catalog at royalrobbins.com.
 
Zombie Runner.com is returning as a sponsor.  The Zombies have evolved and now
have a retail store in Palo Alto, California.  They have a great selection of
shoes for AR, tasty coffee, and a wide selection of hard to find foot care
products.
