THE
RIDE
You
will be taking a selfie or photo of yourself and your pie and
collect receipts after each pie location.
Your
ride starts after you eat your first piece of pie (so you are on the
clock when you get your
receipt after eating).
Your ride ends after your last pie and you get a receipt.
You may take any route you like, but all pie locations must be at least
200 ridden miles apart.
**We recognize that few if any pie shops or bakeries are open 24/7, we
will permit one WILDCARD to be used
in place of the permitted locations mentioned above . To use the
wildcard, you may take a selfie eating pie in a
24-hour chain restaurant like Waffle House or Denny's, BUT pie is often
a
'secret' menu item at these locations. Double check that this option is
available. 24-hour diners, especially in college town locations,
normally have
pie available.
Your official time is determined by the starting
and ending receipts. PLEASE check these documents and make sure
the clock and date are correct!
