my wife lisa was in charge of this DIAMOND

the Open Race at the Diamond Derby was part Road Crit, Part Cyclocross Race, and Part Messenger Race
the Diamonds earned in the messenger aspect of the race outweighed the value of a fast lap

a lap was worth one diamond

each check point was worth one diamond

you could hit many check points in a lap

which... really added up!

at this check point... to get your card stamped you had to pick up a roll of duck tape from one orange cone and roll to the next orange cone without putting a foot down
