Can I grab some floor space for that night though? I'll be catching a ride from Gainesville at some point that weekend over to Tally...I guess I need a ride back to Gainesville too...anyone?

Yay for Florida races!

Yes, but DC is the closest The Weakerthans are coming to the durty souf.

i'm gonna try to make it.

current sponsor list - transit baggage, arena baggage, pandrew baggage, no brakes, joe's bike shop, krank it up, tallycat.org, polka dot shoes, and more...
by the way, if you live in florida and you don't come to this race, you will be missing out.

Srsly.

I raced last year...in the rain...on those hills. I couldn't walk for a few days afterwards, but I was smiling.

I'm still working on my costume...debating on if I can truly stick to the theme of the race...

more sponsors - old field cycles, university cycles, velospace.org, the tallahassee rock gym

... And a bed or couch?! Unheard of, amazing! You rock. :)


Unheard of? I remember staying in a bad ass camper trailer in St. Pete. And I had a couch last time I was in Tally (Fools Errand still one of my top 3 races and my first tattoo). Those FL kids have it going on for sleep-overs.

I'd demand nothing less than a queen size bed with 500 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets.

...wish i could be there, I'd even sleep on a back porch with the mosquitos and 200 thread-count sheets.

five days.
updated sponsor list - transit bags, pandrew baggage and hats, arena baggage, old field cycles, eckert swordsmithery, no brakes!, joe's bike shop, university cycles, krank it up!, the tallahassee rock gym, polka dot shoes, velospace.org, tallycat.org, tallahasseeshows.org, fatoftheland.org, my friend arnold, and some other cool folks who i can't remember right now...

8pm. 8$. klemen plaza. nighttime fantasy race for cyclists of all abilities and bicycles of any type.

still looking for more videographers/still photographers and other assorted volunteers.

If Lynn hasn't already shipped the Transit schwag, then I'll bring it down.

Do I still have a couch offer?

Btw, I'm still trying to find a ride from Gainesville to Tally if anyone's driving!

YES! i already have the transit stuff, but i can definitely find you a place to stay. i'll PM you my phone number.

oh boy! this is gonna kick *****!

my goal this year is to not get lost in Alumni Village.

i shall succeed.

I hate myself for missing this.

thanks everybody for coming out! thanks especially to racers from gainesville, st. augustine, tampa, orlando, and atlanta!
winners were austin, jackie, and eric from st augustine (first overall, first female, and first out-of-town).

race lowlights - crashes, flat tires (a whole bunch of them), and people getting super lost.
checkpoint highlights - helping the mermaid of the lake, baby pirates with baby bikes, monster charming, climbing with a giant spider, and the crazy checkpoint that involved divebombing some creature on a zipline (although i didn't quite get the back story on that one).
fun party afterwards. lots of people are probably sore and sleeping in today.

to the people that didn't go, you all missed out. top four awards were f*c*ing SWORDS, and serious, sharp, bad-ass swords, too. like highlander, but with bicycles. the checkpoints were seriously awesome. far and away, over the top, best checkpoints ever. at least, the ones i found were.

you were fighting the evil wizard.

expecto petronus!!!

Joshuastar, were you Harry Potter? 'Cause Harry Potter did that on the way down... :)

The race was AWESOME even though the G'ville folk and I got super lost and I got a couple of flats. Wish I would have finished, but the checkpoints were super well thought out and fun and I had a great time.

And DAMN Tallahassee is HILLY.

sure nuff. after the first two checkpoints i thought i was going to die. i knew my town was hilly, but i usually try to circumvent the bad spots.

but then i got my sixth wind and i rode my cinnamon broom into the top ten (according to danny wood, anyways. i think i was closer to 12th or 13th.)

check this link out: there's some pictures, mostly from the westridge checkpoint. they look funny on the site, but if you download them all, they are bigger and look normal.

anyways, there's a picture of me in my harry potter glasses looking like a nerd in my helmet (with light attached). pic0034, i think. you can even see part of my lightning bolt scar. and in the picture above: my good friend ron weasley!
