The captain designed a fascinating tour of creepy Chicago Gangster and labor sites, including the Haymarket bombing, Eastland boat disaster, St. Valentine's Day massacre, and Dillinger/Weiss rubouts. The 25 racers had to tote a pumpkin, get marked w/ a paint gun, risk bike theft at Rossi's and endure an out of tune guitar serenade. The 'cat finished at Rick and Beaver's swingin' loft party where bikers had to carry their rides up 3 steep flights of stairs. Messenger bands Mishwack, Rollercoaster and several right-on DJs provided sound. Twas a blast!
