Scavenger Hunt

The 6th annual scavenger hunt has come and gone and fortunately it worked. I am always nervous that there is going to be some random grand problem that does not allow it to "work". But again no such incident occurred and approx. 100 people had a great ride around town. What we found out was that an 8 year old girl knows town better than anybody. So for all of you that think you are smart (and fast!) please go back to school with Saskia, the winner, and maybe she can help you out. Granted her father is the City Bike and Ped coordinator and they rode with the guy who draws the bicycle maps for town, and the young lady who works alongside the City guy and coordinates Public Art around town, but we all know who the real brains of the operation was.

I was not on the ride but here is what I heard from the crowd,

Most frustrating clue:
The Forbes building.

Best riddle:
If you see this at 30,000 ft, you wont be at 30,000 ft anymore.

Most dissapointing feature of the ride:
It did not go closer to a brewery

One of the cutest participants:
well, you can see from this photo here!

The winners came in right around an hour, and the dead last came in around 2 1/2 hours. Fortunately they all came in with a smile and bells to hang, ring, and spread happiness with.

I have a ton of thanks to give to many people who made this happen. Jennifer and Tom with the City of Tucson, Jeannette and Bens Bells, Kade at Time Market, Dwight for helping with T-shirts, Kathleen, Greg Y. and most certainly Chad for everything you do, and the whole El Grupo team for being awesome kids that make me want to coach.

That was the best event. Keep up the great work. Saskia wants everybody to know she is only 6 and half years old and in the first grade. As her dad, for the 6th annual scavenger hunt she chose to be the navigator and coach on the back of my x-tra cycle. Next time she wants to get the tag-a-long hooked up. She can peddle hard so look out.
