Bunny Ears

Day Two: Gravel Rouser Grab & Git City Scramble







Earlier today we suited up for stage 2....Elmer Fudd and the wabbits was our theme of the day. Operation goal; Kill The Wabbit....




We started off at Athens Bicycle and at 5:00pm sharp maps were handed out and the scrambling begun. Just like a scared rabbit we were off to the first of 5 check points. Andrea, Elicia and I decided to stick together and work as a team. Andres is very directionally challenged and it was a necessity, if I ever wanted to see my wife again, that I made sure she stayed nearby....Elicia is not that much better. We struggled a bit with the first two stops, but after that it was smooth sailing. Stops 3, 4, 5, nailed down, no wrong turns, and a couple of shortcuts. In the end it was a massive 6 up field sprint to the house....I managed to be the 2nd to arrive, followed by Duncan, and Elicia....Corey, Kevin, and Andrea did some Hockey fighting no blood was spilled. Mr Fast even had time for a beer before winning stage 2. In the end after time bonuses and time penalties I finished 7th. Elicia won the womens race and Andrea was 5th. One day a cheesehead will win the Grab & Git....




All eyes on this prize for tomorrows epic stage to Lake Hope!

dude, I think you lost cause people were already leaving the parking lot and you're still trying to find "north" on the map.
