Considering this forum's affection for Pie, I was wondering if anyone was planning on doing it. Its 51 miles (some shorter loops are offered).
I was planning on driving down from Champaign to participate, the lure of foot high pie at the end is just too much to pass up. Although, I am told the pie is actually 5 miles from the end making the last five minutes seem very rough. I was planning on doing it geared with my dad who is training for the MS 150 (or I guess it is a MS 200 this year) but have toyed with the idea of doing it fixed.
