The Dirt - Adventure Racing according to Robyn Benincasa
presented by Merrell - Wigwam

All the teams loaded up on yellow school busses at 11:30 last night and drove 4 hours to the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry National Landmark. We're about 20 miles east of Huntington Utah, pretty much out in the middle of nowhere.

The teams are now picking up their GPS tracking systems and getting their horses assigned for Stage 1. It'll be a couple of hours before the start.

Team Merrell/Wigwam is relaxed and ready. In fact, they were so relaxed they were almost late for the busses. Neil, Jeff and Ian were almost 12 minutes late. Not a big deal unless you factor in the "manditory disqualification for being 15 minutes late to the busses" rule. They took it in typical Kiwi stride and said "she'll be alright" as they shuffled out of the room and off to start the "toughest race in the world".
