bike race

did a race today. a shorter one, only around 20 miles. 4 checkpoints, costumes, scavenger hunt, 4 optional checkpoints, teams.

3.30 - 5.30.

I partnered up with this nice girl I had met before, but she was a little slow.

We got 4 checkpoints, but only 3 of them where the non-secret checkpoints. At each CP there was candy and a clue about a secret CP. I knew the first one (the theater where whats his name was shot) but we didnt go, and then at the 2nd CP I knew it was at the cemetery up on sheridan, so we went up there, and actually ran into others and tagged along as we hauled down ashland. Eventually we dropped because of our pace and a red light. We kept going south to 18th and then realized we only had a half hour to get to wicker park. So we made one more CP on the way to the end. If i had been with a faster rider we would have made at least 5 or 6 checkpoints, but oh well I had a good time. she was nice, and cute, so that makes up for riding fast with an ugly dude.
