Elite Athletes ready for the next challenge! - 08/31/09 12:01 PM
This is a serious post so please write serious replies![b][/b]
My two teammates and I are "elite athletes" and we have been talking about our next challenge which will be a 5-7 day backpacking trip. Next to our sport specific training, we all do much of our cross-training in the outdoors. We have been enjoying mountain biking, hiking canyons, surfing, and kayaking.
We are planning this trip for February, and since our team is based out of San Diego, CA, we are looking for a location within in driving distance that has these attributes...
1) Forest
2) Rocks
3) River/Stream for fishing
4) Climate for February that includes Warm days/ Cool Nights
We are currently taking classes at REI and other backpacking stores to learn some of the finer skills needed for this trip. So if anyone has some strong expert advice and is willing to help my teammates and I, please respond or send me a message where we might be able to communicate back and forth. I am looking for a more experienced person to bounce ideas off of and ask questions when I need some help.
Thanks for reading my post,
Nick
