Team Rogue-Samurai will be fielding two separate teams at GeoQuest in Forster this year.  Built from a squad of adventure racers from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, this will be the first Geo for a number of the team and will serve as a great introduction to the race.  I’m pretty pumped about the amount […]
