These are your leaders after 3 weeks.  Anyone can win the coveted Chrome Jersey tomorrow.  If you are 1 minute late getting to the finish you will receive 0 points.  Plan your route carefully.

We will have prizes for the winners and other swag to give away.  Come out tomorrow and race, its gonna be a beautiful day.  It will take strong legs and brains to win this one.  Bring a pencil or pen. 5$

Don't get confused!

Broadway Cafe- 2:30 pm

Brain Eater

Oh, the horror! Only one stage left!  Anyone has a chance to win! (especially if your name is jesse, casey, josh, nate, tracey)  Some people may not show, who knows.  Come to Broadway cafe @ 2:30 to register.  Be ready to scour the city for multiple checkpoints ranging in point values.  And, be ready for the afterparty at Gilhouly's.  Please make some time to stay at the afterparty for a few beers.  Tallgrass reps will be there, we'll have tons of prizes and swag to give away.  Not to be missed.  Gilhouly's will have some beer specials, popcorn, pool tables, and the best jukebox in K.C.  If more than two girls show up I'll pay out 2 spots to women.  We've had 1 woman at every stage.  A semi-fast woman could've scooped an easy 80$ this month. So poor.  Bring a pen,pencil,camera,phone,cash,and your fast bike and get ready to tear it up all over K.C.  The farther you go the more pts you can collect. 

There will be a time limit. You will not want to miss it.

Ask and you shall receive...

Update

Great race today, great weather, great turnout, fast bikes, lots of cadbury egg eating, beer hand ups (dropped), shortcuts taken. Most importantly fun had by all.  John Williams took the W thanks to his ability to eat a cadburry egg in 10 secs flat.  Keck gets bonus points for eating the tinfoil with his egg but his strategy feel flat as he was the last one to pit. Thanks to TallGrass!  Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks to John Williams and PotPie for the great grub and cheap beer. Two things street cred peeps like.  Final stage next week. KIller after party, prizes from TallGrass. 

Some many checkpoints.....  A Can't Miss!!

Overall Standings

Round 2 was a little difficult to score but we've done our best and here are the results.  If you have a protest, call 1-800-GoF-urself.  We're doing our best here people and 16oz cans of tallgrass goodness only add to the welcome confusion. If you don't make every race you're not going to win so here's the standings for people who have made both stages. Three way tie for second! Rumor has it some of the top 5 won't be at every stage so it's anyones race!! Casey is hungry for the jersey but can he hold off old man Tracey? or defending champ Nate? or newbie Josh?  Come to E4th and Campbell today to find out!

Casey's got the chrome jersey but for how long?  Rumor has it Jesse is a peep eating, beer drinkin madman!  There will be peeps, there will be beer, there will be time bonuses, there will be syringes, there will be garbage, there will be rabies!  Get vaccinated tonight before hitting the west bottoms @ 2:30 to race Urban Cross v4.0! Dress Warm!

Oh, and then go race this!  the Howling

Urban Cross v 4.0

URBAN CROSS v 4.0

Here are the cold, hard, sexy facts:

-West bottoms.  The flyer says meet at Hickory and St. Louis, but this may change.  If it does change, we will announce it.  Be there early if you want to pre-ride the course and pour beer down your pants.
-Any bike will do.  Terrain will include street, sidewalks, loading docks, gravel, shards of glass, etc, etc.  Tough tires and extra tubes are probably a good idea.
-Start practicing your hand-ups, hand-downs, and hand-overs.  Impress the beer judges and you will be rewarded handsomely.
-If you are fast, then you might come across the finish line first.  Good for you!  The person that finished 7 minutes behind you just beat you, because he/she ate more peeps than you.  So pay attention to bonus points and when they can be obtained, because they matter.
-There will be garbage.
-ChrisGo doesn't like you.  He thinks you are smug, and he does NOT like the cut of your jib.  ChrisGo wants you to suffer, and he wants you to suffer needlessly.

2:30 on Saturday.  Be there or be Adam Keck.
