About this item: 
Quote from The Great TB Race of 2009 homepage:
Our Grand Prize winner is Solan109, whose Swedish Nerd is the only racer to get over 600 points. With a November position of 2nd place, it was coming down to a heated race between TB Hummer and Swedish Nerd. It was TB Hummer’s lack of movement the last month of the race that helped Swedish Nerd pass him up. But it was the jumps that really helped. In March, a jump to Nevada pushed Swedish Nerd’s mileage past 1000 in a single jump, then it moved on to California soon after. Three months later, after visiting several caches in the L.A. area, it made a leap across the states to Connecticut. But it wasn’t done yet. A few days later, it was picked up again. This time, the leap would be across the water, landing in the United Kingdom a month later. Once again, it spent three months exploring as it visited caches around the U.K., before getting picked up and bounced to an event in Ontario. By now, it was sitting around 7,500 miles. It still wasn’t done. While at the event, it made it into the hands of a couple with some travel plans. Two weeks later, it ended up in Sydney, Australia with a single jump that was 2,000 miles higher than TB Hummer’s largest single jump, only a few hundred miles short of making a 10,000 mile jump. This leap was just before the November points update, helping place Swedish Nerds in 2nd place at the time. It sat there for a few weeks, then, while TB Hummer was preparing for a long layover, Swedish Nerds made a cross continent trip to visit Perth in Western Australia. This jump was enough to catch up to TB Hummer, setting up the final results to be a close race. Then, just as Swedish Nerds were hanging the Christmas stockings, it was picked up. This time, it traveled back across the continent to the Australian state of Victoria, Southwest of Sydney. It is there where Swedish Nerds now rests, celebrating his winning move in the final week of the race. For becoming the Great TB Race’s 1st Grand Prize Winner, Solan109 will receive:
