There were a lot of pirates.
I was surprised how many people got off to push up the hills.
I hung around on deck with my bike, but only because I don't like going in and warming up, then having to get used to the cold again.
Pirates? Do you mean bandits? (people riding the route w/o registering). Point83 runs their annual FHR (effing Hills Race) on the same day, over the same course, every year. Supposedly they don't use the CH stop. The rest of the course (ferry, roads, fundraiser stands) are all open facilities and technically anyone can use them.
I'm never suprised to see people walking up the hills.
