The Rickshaw Rally I
12:50 PM, Houhai Zoo, Houhai
Call it the Great Houhai Race, The Rickshaw Rally, or the Saturday Morning Antics of a Bunch of Beijing Denizens Having a Hoot - at 1 PM some 25 rickshaws will take off from Houhai Zoo in, well, Houhai and cycle through the streets to visit pubs, chug drinks and generally compete to complete the circuit. Each team must hit nine of 13 thirteen bars - a stop at a Xiaomaibu for a Yanjing beer is mandatory. The teams do not know the route. Once they finish a drink at a given bar - and everyone on the team must finish first - the manager will give them an envelope indicating the next location.
The race represents the going away party of Mike Ianinni, who will soon leave our fair city and relocate to Bangalore, India (hey, it’s only a plane ride away).
Could this be a new Olympic event?
Yet another blue sky day in Houhai

Patrol boats would be available for safety.
