Sadly to say there will be no weekly write-up, but I had the privilege to hang out with Amazing Race alumni Dallas and Toni Imbimbo along with Kynt and Vyxsin in San Francisco.
Good news, Dallas has agreed to do our San Francisco urban adventure race on July 25th. He might do the San Diego adventure [...]
