$2400, weekend
It was a race, non-sanctioned. Through the streets, paths and parks.
Twenty three miles, all out. No rules, $200 a man. Winner take all.
From the Northern suburbs of Chicago to the heart of the city. It was
a great race, I didn't get the money. I came in fourth. Man, it was fun.
Worth every penny.
You ever do anything like this?

Grasp the concept if you can, my smog induced comentator.
No one was on a freeway or hi-way or tollway. It was streets with bike lanes,
lake front bike paths and it was not an alley cat. It was twelve guys, throwing
down in a legal fashion, OK?
If you can get over that, maybe you might amount to something.
Other than a winey little keyboard junkie.

Nah, I could just go throw my money out the window and save all that hard riding.

I'm going to agree with this 
As a young dumb road cyclist (definitely NOT a fixie hipster though), this sounds freaking awesome! It needs to be longer than 23 miles though, more like 230 miles.
Los Angeles to Las Vegas, maybe LA to San Diego even
man, i gotta try this sometime.

Well as someone in their 40s I'll say this sounds like fun. I wouldn't be there but that's b/c I might just as well give my money to the winner w/o the drama of being DFL. IOW I'm not in the shape to do this. I used to do something like this back when I was 15 or so but it was alot shorter and for a whole lot less money.
Stop signs/red lights? I run them anytime I can and I'm not trying to win $2200 either.
