I was going to do the ride on my Rodriguez fixie, but as a rolling mechanic. I had volunteered on the web site many months ago, got a confirmation from somebody, then that's the last I ever heard from them, so I didn't even bother to show up.
I thought $200 for one ride was a bit much. I sure hope they gave all the entrants a "free" jersey at least. Somebody made quite a few bucks...
