Every checkpoint I went to had people saying Worst Race Ever. Heheh. I had fun.


Anyone seen Gary?

I had fun, but.... I just was completely confused as to where to go and what to do at most points, and ended up just dnf-ing myself and talking to the last checkpoint.

Thanks for everyone's work though, and I'm gonna have to practice more for gold sprints.

scotthorrigan

dude i rode my ass off. i just told myself that i would race until i found a checkpoint that was closed.

i ended up 4 out of 5 manifest. technally 3 out of 5, but i was one checkpoint shy of completing the 4th.

P.S. i'm not excited to take my sock off and look at my painted toe nail.


also, i'm very concerned about gary, he didn't finish! and no one had heard from him!




on a side note...

will there be any offical results?
i know the standings are going to be ****ing insane to decide/arrange but i'd like to see "how i did"

octopus magic

Gary probably got a flat or something broke on his bike. I wish I had his number.

i wanted to kill the people antiquing everyone. while a funny idea, they were way overboard. i also like how most of the people that finished before me didn't even do all the checkpoints.

i'm alive. i was, and still am, temporarily blinded. somehow the flour managed to get it my eye and swell it shut. upon riding around with only my right eye working i clip a car and crashed because of lack of peripheral vision and depth perception. i came home and spent the next hour trying to clean it out, gave up and went to sleep. im about to go try and clean it out some more now.

DannyRocks

**** dude!
Went through my ****.
I had not one, but 3 "End this **** at" cards, and 2 of them were the same place.
Oh well, better a quitter than a winner.

moscow

I had fun...looking back it is a lot clearer what we had to do than yesterday in the heat of the race. I think that maybe a little better explanation would have helped.

[edit] maybe if the details of the race were explained online in the race description...or maybe that was the point...more quick thinking had to occur

chainline

i agree with moscow. the fun ride was from kenmore tp harvard to south end to beacon and back to the city.

SworksLangster

yeah it was a fun race from what I saw, I just got home from the Hospital. I Clipped a car at the intersection of Yawkey and Ipswitch and they took me to Beth Isreal luckily my bro and I where riding together. Sounds like everyone had fun I guess I will have to wait till next year to finish the whole race. Dam my head hurts,

jacobs

Results.

Sorry if you aren't on there for a DNF, I didn't get all the slips towards the end. All the finishers should be on there though.

donotpanic

wow, that's a lot of DFL's. how many people raced in total?

iloveboston

DNF's not DFL

donotpanic

yeah, my bad.

scotthorrigan

yea 26th!!

micyclebicycle

you must be talking about another mikebike from a differant providence

micyclebicycle

are the piictures from the cambridge bikes stop up anywere?

Morgie

**** me that means I woulda been 27th if I had gone to the finish, i thought it was pointless becuase some checkpoints had already closed...

scotthorrigan

does anyone elses ass in mucho pain on this wonderful day??

i know mine is.

PS i saw a butt-load of cameras out there.. where are all these pictures!

BuddyMike

My leg cramped up on my going out to cleveland circle. I'm still feeling it today.

moscow

i was pretty raw last night...but today i feel pretty dec overall. maybe it'll kick in tomorrow.

and yeah, i wanna see some pics.

donotpanic

i am so worn out today. did anyone get an acurate mileage of the race (provided they did everything). i've heard upwards to 50 miles, which seems sort of ridiculous and 40 seems more accurate but i'm usually a bad judge of this.

OrgFarmCY

I had a awesome time, unfortunately I had to do the Beacon hill run twice. I raced with another out of towner and we had to break out a map at the end of every check point. By the time we were at the last 3 or so check points, everyone working them had gone home.

I was riding from 6:30 till a little after 11 when I showed up. I was beat, but I had a great time. Does anyone know how long it took the first place person to complete the whole thing?

tall eric and chris finished the whole race and eric told me chris' computer said 59 miles.
it totally makes sense, if you average 15 miles an hour for 4 hours you'd hit 60 miles. no question, especially for the kids who average 20 or more.

i think the early racers came in some time between 9:30 and 10? could be wrong.

OrgFarmCY

Wow. This was my first race, and considering how little I ride now a days, I was pretty impressed I didn't fall from exaustion. I think Im headed to DC for the Easter Egg hunt, and this time Im going to folow someone who actually lives there.
