But that's me and you're you.
Hey @
BP,
I also did that ride early in my adult cycling lifestyle, about 1973, on a 5-speed Schwinn Suburban. During the ride a cyclist got off his antique penny-farthing cycle, tripped and taco'ed my rear wheel. I called my mother and she bought and brought me a new wheel to finish within the alloted 24 hours.
Just the milieu of all those riders on a closed course riding all night on Belle Isle in the middle of the Detroit River was memorable.
