What a gorgeous day in Madison, WI.  
Sixty-three riders turned out for the Scaredy-Cat, and 88% of the riders completed the race.
At 5:45 the riders were strewn about the Madison streets.  A pedestrian near Gorham and Henry
recalled several racers completely sourrounding and taunting a moped within the first ten minutes
of the start.  There were no reports of anyone actually blown off the road but the wind was quite fierce!
Checkpoints:
Sultry Sassies
 Kelly of Madison recieves honorable mention for her dirty Michael Jackson joke.
It was also reported that an incestuous group of outta-towners had the most memorable make out session.
Any information on whether this was the Janesville group or the Milwaukee group would be appreciated.
Presto Change-o
Leif and Jonny of Madison were the first to figure out that it was quite easy to
pop a tubular tire on a clincher rim.  Jamie Hanson and a few others also used this trick to complte this
stop quickly.  Phil, Earl, Dustin, and Captain Dan all leisurely imbibed here with their checkpoint cohorts.
Doggy-Droppin' Dash
Congratulations to everyone who actually found poo.  This checkpoint
was not scored however, because the scoresheets were ganked sometime during the afterparty.  My
apologies.  Special thanks to the poohound that made this stop possible.
Costume Crunch
The pictures from this stop haven't been given to me yet but I witnessed
some lovely costumes.  Honorable mention goes to Scott Shapiro, Dustin Kohl, Sara Rogers, and Mike
Divinney.  Yours were lovely.  Oh yes, you too Frank.
Hell Hill
Yes, Timmy is a harsh mistress.  He made you carry heavy weights up and down
a steep incline.  What an auful deal but the points scored were plentiful at this stop.  Leif of Madison 
carried forty freakin' pounds of weight, and Jason actually carried fifty pounds!  Chris Beal, who
made the trip from Milwaukee, still gains mention at 30 pounds.  Tinsley said that style points
should have been awarded for those who skid the entirety of the hill.  woah.
Apple Attack
Little did you know that snagging the banana hidden at the bottom of the
barrell might have won you the race.  Sara Rogers, recently moved to Madison, was the only person to
actually nab an onion.  Frank's make-up smeared but it wasn't debilatating enough to keep him from
finishing the race.
Terrifying Trivia
You learned the truth about satan and the first jack-o-lantern.  You cringed when you thought about 
the hairy unibrow of the werewolf.  You were astonished that you couldn't get away with begging for
bonus points.  Trivia is always sweet.
Aftermath
Rumors had it that Phil left the race early to go to work, but not without stopping to flag Andy Muzi
of Yellow Jersey and help a fellow racer from Milwaukee fix a flat tire.  Michael of Madison nearly had
his head run over by an auto.  Captain Dan, recently back from Madrid, was said to have had the most
fun because of his 20 minute engagement at the liquor store.  Also, all of the food was devoured as a 
pack of hungry wolves descended upon the final destination point.  No one was injured except for
the main chef who nearly burned off her arms trying to avert the wolves.  Maggie was amazing at 
helping to prepare the mashed rutabaga and the squash and mushroom curry was a total smash.  and
no, i do not want your playing cards!
Skid Row
Jamie Hanson and the power of Jesus actually won the competition,
but the power of Jesus must have also been on the side of Crash Test Hall, because he didn't die
when the horse bucked him off his bike.  Minor injuries were sustained to both rider and horse.  They
are currently in stable condition.
Results
As was mentioned from the get-go, the point of this race was not the quickness.  No points were 
awarded for speed.  Completion of the checkpoints was absolutely key.
