**Roadblock:** One team member must use an odometer and a VéloSoleX to measure the entire length of the country of Liechtenstein, riding from Schaanwald to Balzers. At the end, they will meet up with former Winter Olympics alpine ski racer Marco Büchel and give him the distance that they traveled, 22 km, written on the back of a postcard. If they are correct, Büchel would direct the racers to Gutenberg Castle where they will meet up with their teammate and read the next clue.

 At Schaanwald border crossing, Jack & Red would receive their clue for their **Speed Bump**.
Jack & Red have to prepare the right mixture of gasoline and oil to power their VéloSoleX motorized bicycle for the Roadblock. One team member has to measure 25 parts gasoline to 1 part oil and figure out that 2 liters of gasoline would fulfill the mixture ratio before they are allowed to continue.

 The team member assigned to perform the Roadblock would have to use an odometer and a VéloSoleX to measure the entire length of the country of Liechtenstein, riding from Schaanwald to Balzers. At the end, they will meet up with former Winter Olympics alpine ski racer Marco Büchel and give him the distance that they traveled, 22 km, written on the back of a postcard. If they are correct, Büchel would direct the racers to Gutenberg Castle where they will meet up with their teammate and read the next clue.

 At Hinterdorf, teams would have the option to **U-Turn** a team, with two slots available. White & War used the first slot of the U-Turn on Soccer & Sonic. Jack & Red used the second slot of the U-Turn on Cloud & Abe.

Since Soccer & Sonic completed the *Cheese* Detour, they would be forced to backtrack and complete the *Wheeze* Detour before continuing.
