That killed me, I gotta say. I cannot believe how awful the music was at pretty much every rest stop. Also, don't know if you guys went & got spaghetti on the boardwalk at the end of day one, but the big Kenny Rogers-ish dude singing along to a karaoke machine was.. something to behold. Almost made the whole thing worthwhile.
We never did get in a good paceline.. kept either getting stuck behind people going slow or being blown past by spandexy dudes going 25. And I agree with you about the rest stops.. all those breaks to eat as many PowerBars as I could stomach killed my time. Also kinda killed my desire to ever eat a PowerBar again.
