Hum-ding-a-ling

This weekend is the first race in River Towns Race Series and for our PAValleys.com Race Team - well it will be the first time many of us have run this far in a race ever. Should be a hoot. I may just ask my team mates to beat my legs with baseball bats. I'll probably recover from that more quickly than I will from the run and then I don't have to do the work. Mostly what I'm looking forward to is the format - 7.1 miles of scrambling up and down the mountain on things that will apparently resemble trails but may or may not be. It will be muddy. There will be snow. I will laugh at Rob. The Humdinger. Danville, PA. And, if you're looking to keep up with the goings on of the new team check out our new blog!

So long, farewell, and a huge THANK YOU

On behalf of the entire team , a thank you is in order to all who made the 2009 visitpa.com mountain team possible. It was a huge success but all good thing must end. Check out the new team blog at http://blog.pavalleys.com/blog.aspx !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The past few years it was one of our duties to promote outdoor activities and help with tourism in the beautiful state of PA to humans of all over. I believe it worked. With the team doing events widespread it was not uncommon for random people to approach me and say " hey i've seen you and your teammates around, what exactly is visitpa?" That same person may have visited the website then go to maybe poconos, or even a trail system i told them about next time through PA after i got done with them. Or camp at some of my favorite parks, like promised land or french creek. With the diverse landscape and tons of outdoor activities it was an easy sell to these interested folk. And with seven racers on the team, stories like this were not uncommon. We've had some showing in major publications which sprung some widespread interest too. We had and still do have a great relationship with visitpa.com and hope we made them proud. Thanks you again!!!!!! Visit our 2010 efforts at http://blog.pavalleys.com/blog.aspx
