That type of event would be fun. However, out here in The Realm of Lord Gates, we're a bit too snooty to roll about on such quaint but antiquated devices. And the knickers? I'm afraid not - it's Pearl Izumi or we don't go.

I have nothing against English bikes, but my mountain bikes are American and my road bikes are Austrian, Italian, and French.
For a Minnesota-based event, they should consider requiring Swedish bikes.

Seriously though, I would very much like to be part of this event one day. Pity that I'm as far as one can get from Minnesota. I would very much like to ride my '51 Sports "C" Tourist in it.
I must agree with onetwentyeight though - I'd like to see a path race in this event too, perhaps a genuine English time-trial for the club-type bikes.
Take care,
-Kurt
