You would only pay if you lost.

Edit...and you would.

Edit #2 - How about this? I will pay your entry fee. If you win, we're square. If I win, you have to get down on your knees and kiss my lycra-clad, 41-year-old ass...and have a photo of it taken for posterity.

What's your next wussy excuse?

Why do you guys have to make it complicated?

Tangs to San Pedro. Beers at Cabrillo Beach after. Loser has to kiss the winner.

Why does perceived complication frighten you? beer can be consumed anywhere. Nothing easier than having CJbruin sign ggallin up for the race and having it official. I personally would pay big bucks to see the obvious loser kiss the obvious winner's 41 year old ass anyday. I'll even pay both entry fees and buy first round. How's that? Not to complicated I hope

Tangs Donut is in Silverlake, California at Sunset and Fountain. San Pedro is a little under thirty miles south of there.

Cabrillo Beach (alternate possibilities: Pt. Fermin park, Royal Palms State Beach) is a nice place to drink some beers after racing thirty, especially when said beers are provided free of charge to racers by user: Placid Casual.

Not bad. I suggest we do both. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Ok, fess up.. who was in the Red Bull kit this morning, riding ON the tiny median between the north/south traffic? (he had already come out of the tunnel)

This is starting to get amusing.

Seen someone last week too. On the south bound side I thought doing circles in the left turn lane, but maybe they were on the median. It was hard to tell as I was headed north in the far right lane.

To answer the question of anyone riding through the Sepulveda tunnel. We had a huge turnout on our weekly ride in Venice. Went through LAX and the aforementioned tunnel.

Here's a video.. Enjoy
