--- Quote ---Here's the information:

1. The race does leave North America and goes to Europe and South America.
2. In Amsterdam, one of the teams has a bad bicycle accident. "Bad" was the adjective that was told to me an hour ago and I didn't ask anything further. The desciption seems to sound like the bicycle accident involved the Linz team in some way, but my source isn't 100% sure which team.

I don't think that fits into the 11,000 miles.  I haven't checked.  But that's just because it's so wacked.

So, Puddin!  make your guess who sells the hotdogs at 91st & Lex

THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION. 9 p.m.

tomorrow, Channel 3.

PERHAPS the most amazing thing about tomorrow's two-hour premiere of CBS' "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" is what you won't see:

Contestants scrambling to find the nearest airport.

In a twist that makes the show, which just won its third Emmy, look like the "see America first" edition, "Race" instead has its first-ever four-member family teams navigating the streets of Manhattan and heading down the Jersey Turnpike toward Philadelphia.

And then pitching their tents on Fairmount Park's Belmont Plateau.

Host Phil Keoghan sounded, well, amazed when I suggested Friday that Philadelphians might regard this as the show's kids-don't-try-this-at-home moment, then assured me that "everything that takes place on the race is tested" beforehand.

He also suggested the jet-free start was more a matter of changing things up than pampering the younger contestants (the youngest is 8), noting that his own 9-year-old daughter, who flew for the first time at the age of 2 weeks, is "the toughest traveler I know."( awww)

And speaking of tough girls, "one of the most satisfying things for me was to see that at a certain point in the series a 9-year-old girl goes screaming by a 40-year-old man with a rather big ego," Keoghan said.( the Gaghans pass the Aiellos in the Buggy Roadblock)

Still, "having kids there definitely affected how we laid out the race," he said, noting that they were, for one thing, restricted to shooting during the summer, so that the younger contestants wouldn't miss school.

"We don't want to be responsible for the dumbing-down of American society," he joked.

Two of the show's families turn out to hail from Louisiana, and "Race" will acknowledge Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in much the way it previously mentioned the tsunami relief efforts, Keoghan said.

As for the families themselves, "I've been in contact with them and I do know [that they're OK] and that they've actually been looking after each other," he said

It's minmum 12 min up to the GW bridge area.  I had to stick in an address to get Google to make the route.  The teams would not need to exit the parkway to city streets.  They could swing right onto the GW.
