Comments: There were some freaky looking people here, I guess in years past there have been a lot more. Today there may have been 30-40. All men except 3 girls....lots of single speeds and fixed gear bikes. Lots of old bikes just reworked. They had us line up on a little road. Then there was this big bang and everyone took off. But I don't think the coordinator was ready for us to start. The big bang was someone's tire exploding! Someone in our group of riders. We got to the first coffe shop and they gave us a little Dixie cup with coffee. I am not a coffee drinker but I drank it because it was warm and I was freezing. That was the last coffee we got....we were a little slow and when we got to the others they had already put it away. We stopped at a few other shops and picked up our tickets. I bought a delicious brownie at one, it had choc. chips in it. We stopped at a bar for a beer ( I had a coke - I have a hard enough time in traffic with out adding beer to the mix) We took our bikes right inside with us. Everyone thought we were a little strange. We finally made it to the last coffee shop! And we were last....we didn't win anything....and then I said don't we get anything for finishing last?? And then guy pulled out two bags of special coffee that some of the shops had donated....he said the 10 of us could fight over it. More beer here at the finish - some of the guys had been carrying their six packs the entire time. After about 30 minutes it was time to ride back to the start and our cars. We made it through all the cars and none of us got hit - not even any close calls! We were all starving (and thirsty) there was a bar/rest. about 3 blocks from where we parked. More beer and food and then it was time to go home. Post race
