The 2013
Second Annual Bayou Adventure Race is a multi-disciplinary undertaking. It consists
of three components with three different itineraries. The first is a 5K run
alongside banks of Buffalo Bayou from Dairy Ashford to SH-6. There, the
participants will jump into kayaks (or canues) and paddle down the watercourse
back to Dairy Ashford. The third component of the race will be a 10K or 15K
dirt bike ride on the Terry Hershey Trail System (also called Buffalo Bayou Bike Trail)
Participants
must bring their own mountain bike, helmet, life-vest, and water bottle; rental
kayaks are available with registration. For additional information see the web
site of the Bayou Preservation Association’s Bayou Adventure Race web page.
Buffalo Bayou at the flow control gate - all the Feb 16 activity will be downstream,
but the water level seems just right for boating if its stays that way
