About this item: A contestant in "The Great TB Race of 2009"

As a contestant in the Great TB Race of 2009, I am eager to help my owner win. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, but the only way I'll get a prize is if I earn enough points before January 5th, 2010. Here is how you can help me get points:

How to Earn Points

Point Values

Every cache visited
(once per cache)
1
Every 50 miles traveled
1
Crossing state lines or country borders
(in a straight line from A to B)
2
Posting a picture
(one per cacher)
2
Exchange with a TB/coin
(must name the other item in log)
2
Attending an event
(only once per event)
3
Earning an FTF
4
Attending an official checkpoint cache
5

If you would like more information about the race, where to find official checkpoint caches, or to keep up with how the race is going, then you can go to Trip's Geoadventures - The Great TB Race of 2009. There, you can get the rules of the race and find links to race news, stats, and more. Plus, you'll have an easy way to watch how your effort helps me win.

Please do not dip me into multiple caches. I will not gain extra points for the those caches you dip me into and it affects some of the numbers used to calculate the standings.

Now, time to continue the race.....

I like this fly. I think I'll take him to the Weihnachtsmarkst today. Maybe he can ride the ferris wheel with me, then we can both fly.

Welcome to Germany! So far it does look like we'll be having a white Christmas here.
The fly racer got to meet super racer Percy here (visit link) who won the GONIL 2009 TB race this year, with almost 60000 miles in less than a year. The two of them were exchanging racing strategies
Good luck in your race, Fly!

BAT thought a nice long trip to Germany would be even better than Nevada, so he passed this TB on to me just in time for departure tomorrow. Destination: GC1GFCK

Hmmm, in a contest eh? Well it just so happens that Princess and I are on our way to Nevada and just happen to have a little extra space. Will drop you off in a new part of the country in the next day or so.

Happy Travels,

BAT
