February's hustle was a quick, last-minute one. We met at Re-cycled at 8 PM and enjoyed a tall boy while trying to figure out a destination. After much deliberation, it was decided that a single checkpoint would be followed by $1 Empyrean at the Watering Hole. The checkpoint destination was on Briar Rosa Drive, near 27th and Old Cheney.
Patrick's mother provided us with a slip of paper with her signature on it as our checkpoint verification. Thanks for taking time out of your night of preparing taxes to help out, Mama Sands!
Final standings, with Patrick's editorial comment for forgetting to include the night's only female racer in the lineup.
