Seniors Isabel Cullather and Arielle Moir work on one of the two solar-powered biyclesthat they raced in Japan. The team spent many hours preparing the bikes for the trip - and even more doing damage control at their hotel. PHOTOS BYEMILY MOON Senior Addison Elkins waits at the starting line of the race at the World Solar Challenge in Ogata-Mura. To compensate for lowturnout, Elkins had to bike the 1 5-kilometer course twice. FC Seniors Isabel Cullather and Imogen Todd pet a deer in Nara. Later, one of the deerstomped on Todds head at the top of a mountain on Miyajima, creating a painful but interesting memory. A solar car drives across the finish linein Ogata-Mura.
