FINAL PLANNING STAGES

so just like every other race i do, i'm waiting till the last minute to figure everything out. so far i have a start and a finish. good enough, right? this year should be pretty fun. the format is going to be different then previous years, so don't worry about having to change a flat in the dark with broken tire levers. this year will have more of a scavenger hunt feel. each checkpoint will represent a letter. once you've visited all the checkpoints, you'll have to unscramble the letters to find your finish line. the letters will be hidden at each checkpoint, that's where the scavenging aspect comes in. it will be up to each rider to find the letter at the designated checkpoints. everyone will have to visit all the checkpoints. so, even if you figure out the finish halfway through, you still have to visit all checkpoints. as always, this is all about having fun. we do have some pretty cool prizes from our sponsors, so top finishers will be rewarded. i'll also have some booby prizes for fun categories. like, first quitter, best costume, DFL, and so on. i'm looking forward to seeing everyone. if you RSVP, i'll give you a hint as to what the checkpoints will be. not exact locations, just a hint.
