A couple weekends ago a few friends (Julie and Sunny) and I competed in the Off Road Oyster Race! They have several of these races around the country,the best description is it's kind of like an Amazing Race/Adventure Race only in one day. There were clues that we had to solve and we had to run and bike all over town doing different challenges on the clue cards. For example they showed us three different pictures of different landmarks in town, we had to choose 2 of them, run there take a picture of ourselves in front of the landmark and run back. Next we rode our bikes up to Tetherow Crossing (a new fancy golf course on the way to Mt. Bachelor), then find the driving range and hit a golf ball between two flags, there we were given another clue to find the flaming chicken on Phil's trail, we had to figure out the fastest route there and back to the tranisiton area. There was more running and more biking and more clue figuring along with beer identifying, blindfolded canoeing, keg carrying and the last event was the slip-n-slide to the finish line. Sunny had a GPS device that said we traveled almost 23 miles during the race, it was a blast and beautiful day. I can't wait to sign up next year!
The kids were there to cheer us on at the end and even got to try out the slip-n-slide too. Piper couldn't get enough!!!
