Team BPN composed of Gretchen Reeves, Scott Swaney, Mike Freeburn, and Shane Sigle came out of the starting blocks at the early season Adventure Extreme Moab race like a fireball. The team battled out first place on the mighty Colorado River with Team Nike and pulled away from the world champions to take a one minute lead at the end of the paddle. BPN was not strong enough to hold off the world champion mountain bikers led by Mike Kloser and Team Nike slipped by BPN during the 1000 foot climb on the bike. BPN battled for second place with Team Four Corners but experience and rope skills allowed BPN to pull by Four Corners during the spectacular repel at Gemini Bridges. BPN kept on the pressure to finish in a solid second place working as a well oiled machine. BPN plans to complete the Adventure Extreme race series across Colorado and was happy to start the race season with a strong finish.
