i wouldn't neccesarily say it's a skill, but there is technique involved.

Chris, awesome race!

Kudos to the checkpoint workers for making the stops fantastic: I consumed 4 shots, 2 pickles, and a vegan chocolate chip cookie. I ferried a voodoo doll and the yellow pages across town.

After that second manifest I knew you were sadistic. I just eased into an easy pace and drifted into thoughts such as....are pansy really good to plant this time of year? are pickles really nutritious? wtf, i'm carrying a damn phonebook, should i call anybody?

Congrats to our polo homebrews who scored the 1,2,3 spots: Brad, Shane, Tim.

Well done in all respects...poster and t-shirts are splendid.

Hell yeah! Now, that was a fun race.

I whimpered, puked pickles and bourbon, got pissed (second manifest), and had a great time all rolled into one vegan cookie and washed back with some bourbon.

I know Chris told us about the second manifest but damn I thought it would be some shorter points downtown and then finish... not repeat 3/4 of the race backwards. Holy shit it was so much fun.

Thanks Christ and Wes. How much money was raised for polo?
I think the sidecar is gonna see a lot of all of us

For some reasone, I was really expecting the second manifest to say something like:

"Walk to the bar. Get a beer. Sit down and rest."

At first I was dissapointed with the surprise. But in the long run, it proved to be really fun.

Great prizes, too. The bag was an awsome idea!

Thanks for all your work guys.

fantastic job in putting it together!

seems like we're making up for all the lost time this past summer where we didn't have any races scheduled.
