However even with this handicap we still managed to finish 11th place for all coeds (Team "Bobby Got Loose") and 38th overall! This is our best finish ever and we had a lot of good luck.

First of all Heather did a great job planning out the route (see map above) and choosing the initial path to go clockwise around the circle. Then as we approached the first mystery checkpoint a very kind women was screaming the location (and solution to the anagram) of the second check point (Fat Cat Bar and Grill). This allowed us to spend very little time at the mystery checkpoint and it also happened to be right in our direction as we were heading back to home base!
As always the orgainizers did an outstanding job and the beer and food was ready and waiting for all the riders when we got back. Heather and I didn't do costumes like last year (we had come in banana costumes) but people recognized us and the vibe was quite friendly. This was the first year some Chicago friends did the race as well and they loved it. Granted we smoked their time ;-) so I think we really had the best of times. More pictures from the race to come....
