So we get downtown and we see all these cops redirecting traffic , so I think it 's the river city round - up still going on . We drive down and decide to check out the developments on the river front by Rick 's Boatyard and the footbridge . There we see the crowd . And all the people with numbers on their tank tops and shorts .

Question: Why is the narrator stuck in traffic ?
Answer: There is a big race .There is a big political convention in town .There is a big boating event near the river .None of the above choices .
