    the price, time, and entry fees are all on the poster which is posted twice in this thread... It is going to be really laid back and all skill levels are going to be there so it would be a great first race, it's not a big deal...

  2.  

    I'm just messing with you. I may not race race, but I'm hoping to get this rad "action camera" from my friend to wear and catch some people racing.
    It's basically a shitty small video camera you can strap to your head or bars or something.

    So yea, I'll be the nerd who has a penis strapped to his head.

    ahhhhh

    yah it's my birthday.

    I'm not racing cause I put it all together and I'd have the one up on where all the checkpoints are and such. haha. and that's not fair is it.

    oh by the way it's 6 checkpoints and let me map out how many miles.

  8.  

    But if you tell us all the checkpoints now then it will be fair.. .....

    yes....fair....

    nope. if you can find where I live break in get past three dogs and a roommate with a baseball bat, into my basement past me to the manifest list that's sitting next to me then maybe.

    I just checked the map and it's about 8 miles. depending on the route you take. I only checked one possible route. so give or take a little.

  9.  

    You, obviously, have underestimated me.

    is anyone gonna be downtown early to ride a bit/drink/kick it? I'm not working tomorrow and I don't think I will be able to sit around all day waiting for this thing to start without dying of boredom.

  12.  

    If you want to go ride, how about a SE pub / bike shop crawl?
    We can start in the early afternoon.

    that sounds like fun, anyone else in? What time are you thinkin?

  13.  

    Also, this is gonna be my first race, and I was wondering whether the checkpoints were going to be like street addresses, intersections, or what. I don't get downtown as often as I like and although I have a pretty good knowledge of the layout I was wondering the best way to review my map.

    street addresses.

  14.

    3 sounds good, any earlier and we might just end up too trashed to ride haha. That should be the handicap for really fast riders, drinkin a 40 or something. Where do you wanna meet? I don't know any bars or cool spots really.

    Yea. The one that shoots all the water toward the middle of the fountain. It kind of looks like multiple huge drinking fountains positioned in a circle facing the center of the fountain.

    Hey Max,
    Any idea of where you guys may be going after Father's Place??? I forgot that some Furnace repair people are coming to my house at 3:00. I probably won't be rolling until 3:30 or 4:00... it takes me about 30 minutes to ride to that area (if i'm haulin').
    -kack

    so how do i get to salmon street fountain?
