I put my pictures here, some are rad others are not (I tried, but shit. I doesn't afraid of brakeless fixed commuting in DC but I does afraid of technology occasionally)

The Course
Start at Freedom Plaza
Checkpoint 1) 7-11 at corner of M and South Cap (in view of Nats Stadium) (It was lucky the rain affected the baseball game otherwise that checkpoint would have been a lot hairier. Game started at 4 and race arrived there about 7)
Checkpoint 2) Middle of H street bridge behind Union Station (I've got some awesome pics from this stop)
Checkpoint 3) Exorcist Steps Part I (We told you the checkpoint was the bottom but it was actually the top. Hopefully no one got too wrecked on that climb)
Checkpoint 4) Three options depending on what card you was randomly pulled (prizes available at each stop)
