I can't find the quote now but I remember they are supposed to go down a steep cobblestoned street--we had a lot of posts about where that street might be, I think thru a market/shopping street w/ museums on it? I'll have to go look...

But nice on the building! Does GE do cobblestones?? :lol3:

• As for the challenges, “We’ve really outdone ourselves in the department of outrageousness,”  Van Munster declares. “We have a situation in Bolivia where we have the [contestants] go down a cobblestone hill on very, very primitive bikes, and it’s just the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen in your life. It’s a truly bone-jarring experience

Until more info comes in, it may be a waste of time looking for a particular cobblestone street. Our blogger friend saw the bikes at Plaza Abaroa in the Sopocachi neighborhood, and as this blog implies, cobblestone is everywhere:

Should be hilarious for me to watch, but probably not so funny for the racers -- at least, at the time.

This is El Prado.  The boulevard where teams will start their rides on the wooden bikes.

Thank you for the videos and screencaps puddin! :thankyou:

Good jobs Boingo and Chateau!!  :jumpy:

Okay, do ALL the teams do the bikes? Because cholitas is the roadblock, so if it is a detour choice both team members do it.

But I'm getting the feeling it is a get a clue at the end kind of thing that everyone has to do...right? Maybe the very first task?  ???

Peach, i agree and think the bikes will be a task like the candy.

also looking at the video by the wrestling.

are the last 3 teams, geeks, pinkies, eyebrows?

if so it looks like tina/ken get out first that would leave a race btw pinkies and geeks for elimination.

When Toni is cheering for Dallas we see most of the teams sat in a line
