and ten minutes to make it back. Go, go, go!” You just go. You park your bike. You
check on the section. Jump on the motorcycle really quick. Go, go, and you’re al-
ways like… For example in the Scottish they give us fifteen minutes to eat a damn
hot dog and a Milky Way bar, while in Santigosa they give you thirty minutes.
So we decided to give thirty minutes plus; we are also going to involve cultural
things. For example, on the parade, we’re going to have a lot of national folklore
people dancing and different things. On day one we will visit a mill, so riders go
through a very old sugar mill that processes sugar cane. Riders can see that and
push and make juice and drink a little, because it’s kind of like a booster, and then
keep on going. Riders will have fifteen minutes there. Then on day three riders will
be able to - on this river that I’m telling you that is full of ponds and waterfalls - it
gets humid so people say, “Oh, man, I wish I could jump in that waterfall.” Well,
hey! We will have one area where riders come, they give the card, and the judge
will say, “Okay, you have fifteen minutes. If you want to jump, go crazy.” They can
actually jump in. So it’s kind of fun at the same time, but it is a competition. So we
are adding that. Another example is on day two they have the raft you’ve maybe
seen in a photo that it’s been circulating - that picture has been all over the world.
