Seminole County Adventure Race Bruiser Passport Instructions
Bike travel along Lockwood Blvd allowed on bike lanes or shoulder only. Helmet must be worn at all times while on the bike, PFD’s must be worn at all times while on the paddle.
Start: Follow the trail along the river leading to C1. To get to the trailhead cross the open field and then go to the northernmost picnic area. The trailhead leads into the woods near this picnic area. Go in and follow the river trail south which will be against the current. You will have a few wet crossings of side streams. When you get to the open retention area there will be 2 ponds. Continue along the forest boundary to the far south end of the open area and enter the woods crossing over a downed pine tree. There should be a trampoline visible in a backyard due east of you. About 75 meters in you will see a fallen treehouse platform in an area where the kids play paintball. From the platform go due south 100 paces and you will see the control on the back side of a tree. Take one poker chip per team from the bag and return back to the Start Finish area.
After retrieving the chip return to the Start-Finish location.
Bikes: Get on bikes and bike north to the lower (west) side of the bridge over Lockwood Blvd. just north of the start finish area. Cross under the bridge (walk your bikes and it is slick) and then up the hill on the other side to Lockwood. Ride along the sidewalk at Lockwood (you can shortcut across the parking lots) County Road 419 and follow the sidewalk east. At 419 cross over the bridge and go right on the south side to the underside of the bridge to TA 2. You will need to cross over the bridge on your bike as the river is currently high and a difficult swim. This is TA2.
Paddle: From TA2 Paddle south on the river to P2, staying east (left) at the river confluence. You will be paddling to P2 which is on a sand bar on the east (left as you go upstream) of the river. It is visible from the river – but you will need to be looking for it. The other races used this control so look for where teams might have pulled their canoes out of the water. You will need to get out and punch P1 on your passport below. After punching P1 paddle back downstream to the Transition area.
Bike back to the start finish area to finish the race.
