(I want to congratulate the top 20 for fore filling your wildest and wettest dreams of beating Pete Young. However, don’t get too excited. He had two flats and had to beg for the second tube. Pete was actually passed by many racers who refused to give up there tubes. Where’s the love? I was even told by the people running the check point that he asked to take their bikes (beach cruiser or whatever) to continue the race. None of the peeps running the check point had bikes, so they offered to drive him to the closest bike shop to get a tube. However, the brave and valiant Pete refused for fear that he would be disqualified. Finally a very nice person was willing to give up a tube for a beer. Hey champ, how about next time you take a buddy’s advise and save yourself some grief:-)

There were a total of 127 people who registered. I hope the rest of you made it back. Super sorry about spelling. We did the best we could. Again, let me know if you want it corrected even if it is as minuet as an extra “n” in Jen.
Also special thanks to Boston for dropping out of the race to volunteer for a check point.
