I have not rode "in" the city in 25 years. But his was an invite and really adventure as it was 102 degrees at times.
Myself and Savoir-Faire(ADV Name) planned to brave the heat and do the Dirty Mile Scavenger Run on Sunday. Teams are two people, starts in Villa Park at 12:45pm and ends in Little Italy, Chicago, whenever you're done. All makes and models welcome.
More info: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133607493380310
From the info:
Teams of two take off from the starting point and use given clues to find specific locations in and around the city and suburbs of Chicago. Once found a picture must be taken of both scoots in front of said location then on to the next. First team back to end spot with all correct location wins ! Prizes for the first three(3) teams back with the correct locations inc. $50 gift cards from Three Aces, Sponsor Swag, and CASH !
The outcome?
Finished 1st by 45 minutes.
We are both competitors and I guess it showed. $50 each (net) and $50 in free booze. A PBR gift box with hats, shirts, stickers and the best of all an old school PBR box-cutter! We did spent the $50 in free booze on the members. I felt a little guilty.
NOT!
I was a blast and all the entrants made it safely!

Re: City competition
What do you call those guys who go into a pool hall and pretend they don't know much about playing pool, then get a bunch of bets going and run the table? That's what you did!
Shame on you! For taking advantage of a bunch of Chicago "ladies". LOL

I think "hustler" is the word you are looking for, Phil.
I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray...
