after a brief delay (man, that was a fun weekend!) we are finally ready call it good and put the second year of the blind date series to bed. i tucked it in, and joe sang james taylor songs. kyle at 21st ave bicycles turned on the nightlight, our dedicated OBRA officials closed the curtains, and our hard working course laborors and reg volunteers left the door just a little bit open so you don't get too scared. the scientifically arranged prize packages have been dropped off at 21st ave bicycles and are awaiting your retrieval. prizes run 3 deep in each field except the A men and women who were paid cash money each week but still receive sweet medals. final results can be found here: http://obra.org/events/16608/results. be prepared to have your photo taken upon acceptance, and perhaps have a modest speech prepared. we'd like to give thanks to our list of gracious sponsors who provided this bounty of truly legit goods or made the event possible through other avenues:
