Want to set up a cycle bingo race of your own?
For any one who wants to attempt to put on their own cycle bingo alleycat race, here are some tips and tools.
You can make your own bingo cards and manifests, or you can download this one, fill in the grid, write in the checkpoint locations, and make a bunch of copies at the copy shop.
I set mine up using random numbers. Column one is five random numbers between 1 and 10. To get a true random sequence is used the random sequence generator at random.org. You enter in your sequence boundries (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40 and 41-50) for each column, and hit 'Get Sequence.' I then placed the first five numbers in the sequence in the grid. Repeat for each column and as many cards you want.
If you have volunteers to man checkpoints, they can stamp each riders card. If you don't have volunteers, you need a way to make sure riders actually travel to each location. I used sharpies of different colors for to write each number on a peice of paper. (ie: Green, red, blue and black) Riders then only have to record the color for each number on thier card. So if a rider has the number 25 on their card and they reach the checkpoint with 'green 25,' they record 'green' at the 25 spot on their card. That marks that spot. Five in a row is bingo. Doesn't matter what the colors are. The colors are only for verification. Again, if you have volunteers, they can just mark the riders card.
I took the peices of paper to each location (checkpoint) and taped them up.
