Photo Scavenger Race

PHOTO SCAVENGER RACE DETAILS 09.12.09

In traditional fashion, there was a 48 hour lead time for this race. Again, a tight group of racers gathered who were there to do just that. Each racer shot themselves at as many checkpoints as they could in 1 hour. the magic number was 20 out of 50. The top two finishers rode the course together, and had to go back out to fight for first. Blake Godwin, and Brad Handle sprinted back to get the clock tower, but the market street vent/grate was mean to Brad, so that settled top two.

1: Blake Godwin 21 spots
2: Brad Handle 20 spots
3: Jason Yim 19 spots
4: Walton Brush 18 spots
5: Blake Vonknopka 18 spots

Walton and Blake also raced together, but blake claims walton pulled him. Hope payback is a bitch, cuz those guys are riding cross in santa cruz tomorrow with garrett!

Somehow even after we hosted a slideshow of all the racer photos at Azalea, I don’t have all the images on this machine, so will add more tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for coming out and making fun happen!
