Doing the same thing as Season 25 it seems, except this time in California.

Ok Guys, this is the cam we can use to monitor the start. http://www.westland.net/beachcam/ However, users can control this for 30 secs in a line, so we'll need a big group of us to be there in order to keep the cam on the Graffiti pit. I will be one of them as I live in CA and I wake up at 8AM all the time

It's great for me that it's a morning start, because it will be day here in Lithuania

Could someone tell me which time I should tune in though? My timezone is GMT +3, I'm not sure what's the time difference between my place and Venice Beach.

It would be noon here for me (I'm three hours ahead). Add in eight hours to that, and it's more like night for you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but start around 7:30pm your time?

Marionete · « **Reply #381 on:** June 20, 2015, 02:49:09 PM »

Isn't the timezone -7? If it starts at 8am, that would be 6pm in my time?
Ahh I'm confused.

I'm blonde; I'm confused all the time.

5:30pm would be my safest bet if I were you.

Just search "time in los angeles" on Google and it'll give you the correct time and date of California at this moment.

Us Californians are observing this thing called "Daylight Savings Time"

right now, which keeps us 8 hours behind Greenwich UTC.

Here is what Google says:

BritishTARFan · « **Reply #385 on:** June 20, 2015, 04:30:20 PM »

Yeah it would be 6pm for you since it is 4pm for me and Lithuania is 2 hours ahead of London

Thank you guys!!!

Because they start at 8, can there be a possible starting task to kill time?

Amazing race twitter confirmed 11 teams

gabriel15 · « **Reply #388 on:** June 21, 2015, 02:33:13 PM »

So, since the race has to be filmed within 21 days, the race filming should end around July 13.

Me believes in an Euro start too.

They could plunge into the Pacific Ocean to grab their first clue from a buoyant object, but I think that's as far as a task will go because TAR is encouraging a live audience for this starting line spectacle.

A water bike company posted on Instagram that they are ready for the race: https://instagram.com/p/4NIAIjiiwc/. Looks like there will be a task involving the ocean.

I knew there was a start line task.
Good find euvert

Alenaveda · « **Reply #393 on:** June 21, 2015, 04:17:50 PM »

Or teams can arrive to the starting line that way.

Possible
But it looks like there's one seat..... What is that anyways?

Also they look parked on the beach which is why I think its part of some start line task or task........
Well see tommorrow

That's what I think, too. They always did like bringing the teams in by some form of transport.

fossil-racer · « **Reply #396 on:** June 21, 2015, 04:31:11 PM »

This

Looks uncomfortable

Don Task · « **Reply #397 on:** June 21, 2015, 04:37:41 PM »

These water bikes make me feel like there will be a race for flight tickets for 2 flights with different departure times.

Those bikes seriously look uncomfortable.
Who invented them?
