Every lane is a bike lane
This is one of the very few occasions when I have wished I lived somewhere else.

I can't believe there are only two masochists on BikeForums!
(Mainly because I, myself, am suspect; though I do not wish to congratulate myself in this respect, at least, not yet.)

Pete,
I HAVE NOT done this ride, some have accused me of doing CRAZIER things though. A buddy of mine won it once on a TOUGHER course and got heat stroke when another buddy of mine WON it on this course on a one-speed Schwinn "triple bar" Cruiser!!!
The story goes: He would have won by HOURS, if he hadn't stopped, took a nap and waited for a category TWO racer because he got bored with riding alone. If I can remeber right, the winning time that year was about nine hours.
Ride Far Enough
