we are in the process of setting up a wiki for our team so that we can all chitter-chatter about our plans. i'll post the link here when we get it up (nick worked on it a bit yesterday...) hopefully we can have it done tonight.
i've secured a shopping cart for the race... i propose we meet up this weekend to get things moving. nick and i will host - booze and bbq... who's in?
I can definitely secure shopping charts. The Sunnyvale ghetto is littered with them, and I have a hatch-back Subaru. Also, chopstork wiki is available, but from my experience most of my mech-head friends find wiki's intimidating, too complicated, or too dorkie.
Yey Luke...i think we might need two carts. Bekah, Lindsey and I are definately in. We were thinking swim suits and google...a swimming pool theme and being the Doggie Paddlers. Or at least that's one idea...more to come after a bottle of wine tonight.
PLEASE NOTE The San Francisco Urban Iditarod will be postponed until later in March or Early April. Please do not show up this Saturday.
After a much appreciated and productive meeting with the SFPD, El Perro Grande is proud to announce that the race will not be canceled but will be run at a later date. Stayed tuned for further details. The NEW date will be set AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Please note, a $5.00 donation per person will be collected to cover operation expenses. Any additional monies left over will be donated to a local charity.
In Chicago, the winning team printed a fake map and distributed it to the other racers, sending rival carts scattered all over Chicago. Here's a cool video of how they cheated their way to glory:
We watched last year and have been planning, searching and waiting for it all year long! I guess we can wait 3 more weeks. Our cart is ready and upgraded for serious racing!! See you on the 1st!
I tried to contact people affiliated with the event, but no response. The person who added the event hasn't logged back in for months. Sorry, everyone.
