*And I can't exactly say how I know , but I just got confirmation that the race was definitely in Delhi as we suspected, and also was in Moscow!!

I ran out of steam around Delhi but will tweak the legs here and there 

[Mrs Shrek]

  Great job as always puddin compiling all the info

[georgiapeach]

This is wonderful! Thanks so much for doing this for us--a masterpiece!

But maybe put it directly in the Page 1 update? You are too modest...

peach gives us the final pitstop a day before the race ends...
Final Pitstop! Pittock Mansion

Now, my recollection is that the Finale was May 14 and Peach's public statement about where the pitstop was was on May 14. That's would seem to me to be the same day. Despite what the local newspaper indicated, there was no race on Thursday May 15 because it was already over.

[apskip]

It sounds to me that there were pistops in both Delhi and Kathmandu with Kathmandu first. Kathmandu is supposed to be a really neat place. The evidence of activity in Delhi certainly points to a pitstop there. These would be pitstops 7 around May 7 and 8 around May 9 or 10 or maybe a TBC for the end of leg 7. The thing that gets discounted if we go this way is the sightings purportedly in Dubai airport on the morning of May 8. Those could not have happened if this scenario is true. Then there is one pitstop bewteen Delhi and Moscow. It could be any of the places previously identified in Asia or the very eastern edge of Europe.

Well she did tell us a day before the race ended.

Us just does not include you.

Heee...looks like I have until July 14 to spill the beans anyway!

And yes, Delhi has been confirmed as a pitstop for some time now.

But Kathmandu? Where the heck did that come from?

Jason, our wonderful blogger, went on to Kathmandu and had a great time, but the Race? To the best of my knowledge, there is zero evidence for the race going to Kathmandu...although yes, it is a fabulous place!

[puddin]

I'm still confused about the May 14th thing, what did I write? whats wrong? 

This is speculation so maybe thats where Kathmandu came from?
Me? I want Sucre, Bolivia for the second leg, just dreaming here 
And while I'm here I think another leg in India and or somewhere Russia will fill in the blanks in the missing leg (s) ( the dates really are tight huh?)

[Mrs Shrek]

( the dates really are tight huh?)

I guess that in itself would fulfil BVM's criteria of this season being crazy and insane....

Oh now I see what your saying apskips  . peach knew the Pittock Mansion was the finish line because we talked on the phone that day. the 12th to be exact, ( I have the bills to prove it  ) extensively and she told me "I know where the final mat is!!" and she wanted to post it but, after a talk with Chateau & I she felt that revealing  the Mansion was not a good idea as the media & mass would have been at the doorstep tripping the racers as they ran to the mat  . Not that peach needs it but, I can vouch for her word , it unfolded as it was happening and all because peachs wonderful people skills .., she really is a peach 

[Chateau d If]

Yes that.  And I e-mailed Peach a GE view of the Mansion grounds shortly after she told me the name of the place.  That e-mail is time-stamped May 12th May 13th (I checked it this time!).  It was the day before racers got spotted around town.

We were even on the phone and we were trying to get the little google map man up the mansion driveway and peach was cracking me up because she had him standing on top of the car, I was 

[georgiapeach]

And I kept seeing backpackers on the driveway!   Fun!

But pssst--it was on the 13th!   

I love you all too and thanks...

But Hey! The finale is SO last month!

Who wants to help me find the START??

And what about Forteleza? Is that a real possibility?

[Chateau d If]

You missed your chance to bargain with BVM !  One start for one finish

  I don't even understand why theirs any doubt and why we feel that have to prove what we know is true. If it were some newbie with 1 post I would understand the doubts but this is peach were talking about not some new kid on the block 

[georgiapeach]

DARN! Now why didn't I think of that??!! 

The ultimate irony for this forum was the three of us having the info and all three of us not feeling that sharing it was the right thing to do. And then also to actively want to help be sure the actual site would be secure until they were done with filming. Isn't that just bizarre??  

But thanks to puddin and Chateau we did our part, I think! So despite our love of spoiling, sometimes the RACE itself comes first, as it did that day. And I am so, so proud of our team for that! 

But really guys...

Moving onwards now! 

[puddin]

I want to play with the fish  :sucks

I finally found a team in the album. It's the mother and son team!

Could it be a roadblock? It seems he's going to retrieve a net which contains the fish

Looks like another dried fish task in the works  

From the shots in the floating village on Tonle Sap

We know the Roadblock is at Angkor sooooooo we know the Mom/Son are doing a detour

I think this is the task being set up hired locals , they are bringing the net baskets and wooden boats, the fish are in the pens and this is where they have to retrieve them? also we see Phil being filmed near the fish pens.
We see the Mom/Son team returning? a basket/net to the one boat. But we hear from the one witness that the African American team was loading baskets into the back of  one of the blue trucks that we see.  And where do the 7 boats with flags come in?

[puddin]

This is what a pig basket might look like as described by Chrisrae, being stacked onto the blue truck (  )
