For the east vs west challenge I would assume Yonge is the reference point for east side or west side. As far as a race route goes, I am a proponent for an alleycat style vs riding on a running track. If T.J. really wants to keep it away from traffic perhaps the Commisioners, Cherry, Unwin, Leslie loop could be an option. It is still on the street but with less in the way of random traffic and still has enough distance to make it interesting. I like the idea of having it alleycat style with maybe 4 or 5 different manifests...everyone goes at once, and then just award points based on finishing order. This would split people up to a fair degree and then the whole city is our playground. I hereby offer up the back alley at the shop for post race festivities....perhaps a nice keg from Mill St? the brewmaster there is a customer. I have a digital projector that we could show some movies on the wall with. This could be the first feature. My favorite line..."with her mustard shoes and ketchup sash shes a real HOT DOG!"

Yeah, I was thinking yesterday that it'd be cool to have both an east-side and a west-side manifest. Either you could have the east-enders race in the west-end (and vice-versa), or have everyone stick to their own hood.

Movies in the alley would be kick ass.

Red bull girls for check points. I'm thinkin' I should bow out of racin' at this point, as it's my big mouth and fingers that seemed to have pushed the snowball off the top of the ski run. We will have to wait for Dublin folks to return at the very least. I could ride around and find some nifty check point spots within a reasonable zone area.... you know you're goin' far Keith. You and Jim K mano a mano

On a totally unrelated note: When I come to the forum I always have to click "Last Page" in order to get to the most recent stuff - is there any way to edit preferences to have the most recent posts shown first?

Keith I'm liking the cut of your jib. This way the fastest riders from each team would be assigned the farthest checkpoints. So the slower riders...myself incl wouldn't feel useless. I liiike. Gold Jerry GOLD!!!! We'll sit down later so I make sure I gots what your sayin'. This way it a team ride on the streets (which really is the way it should run), isn't all grouped up like a giant accident waiting to happen. hmmmm
