Tips for a successful scramble:
1) Don't go out drinking until the wee hours of the morning of the race, and pass out on a friend's couch. If you do, at least get a good breakfast in you.
2) Plan your route before riding off with the manifest. If you're planning while riding, at least look at the whole thing, not just the first couple of points.
3) If you end up riding with someone, don't assume they know the city. They may be from out of town (hi Jessie). If they think all your ideas are great, then double check where they're from.
4) Climbing over twin peaks on a fixie is not big or clever.
Still had a good time regardless, props to Judah for everything.
