WHAT IS THE TOTEM AND THE HOT POTATO- ??
These “trophies” were designed to get riders out and ride.
The Totem is the most coveted. A group of 3 riders must head out to wherever that Totem is and bring it back to their Post. To be displayed as a “trophy”, an “accomplishment”.
The Hot Potato however is not a “trophy” one would want to have displayed; however, it must be, (as a trophy of shame). The Chapter in possession of the Hot Potato must hop on their rides and deliver this “bad boy” to another Post for them to get rid of to avoid shame for any length of time.
The rules are further explained at the bottom of this page.
