The fall of 2006 saw WPE put on our first "urban event" in our Toys for Tots fundraiser. We had so much fun in doing it that we decided
to move forward with something we've been thinking of for a long time - our Bump & Run Trail Series. The 2007 summer series was a
combination of what we'd see in bootcamp with river crossing, push ups, hill climbs and all kinds of other craziness, thrown in to a race
format that was both on and VERY OFF trail. Each of the three races in our series benefitted a different local cause. We saw attendance
rise with each event and got fantastic feedback. We took what we learned from our Bump & Run Series and decided to offer up an
almost adventure race - the Fall Cider Slam. Some options with route choices, some slight navigation work and a lot of fun were what
we wound up with. Our love of Adventure Racing and our desire to see others get into the sport is what we had in mind by offering the
Cider Slam, a vehicle to bridge the gap between an adventure style trail run and an actual adventure race. We won't be sure if we
accomplished that until the Infiterra December Chill comes around... then we'll see who's signed up!

The Plan for 2008
After having some success with the race series, and some talks with other GLTeams.com members, we decided that we were just
crazy enough to join forces and put on our own actual adventure race series. Jeff and Dori, along with GLTeams.com founding member
Caleb Mitchell, solidified the plan by forming GLTeams.com, LLC. GLTeams.com will now direct and promote every aspect of our Bump
& Run series in addition to the all women's adventure race, directed by Dori, and our Urban Adventure Race in Detroit, directed by
Caleb. By coordinating schedules with Infiterra Sports, River Rats Adventure Racing and GRAAR; GLTeams.com looks forward to
holding a wide variety of quality and challenging events that fit into an already busy AR season. Being that Adventure Saturday will
become a GLTeams.com function, as of January 2008, we also look forward to the continuation of our being able to train you for the very
events that we'll be hosting.
