68 miles (110 kilometers) just under 4 hrs start to stop. That includes a 15 min stop at the Vans Triple Crown (http://www.vans.com/triplecrown/) BMX event and a 10 min stop to watch some guys put together the Red Bull Heavy Metal (http://www.redbullheavymetal.com/) course.

When I went to pre-register my bike, they required me to have a front brake, so i broke down and put a front brake on my bike... it was a waste of money, i didnt touch the lever once.

Welp, off to shower then off to watch some urban snowboarding :)
