I forgot to mention that I was able to plug the race and Lexington bike culture in general on WRFL this morning (I was a guest on Mick Jeffries' show today).
A couple of folks called in asking about it after we mentioned the race...

we even got a call about Yellow Bikes, although I think it was a prank call.

Hey, Gwenda said she heard you on her way to work!

She didn't mentioned that she'd prank called you, though.

looks like someone on Swobo's blog site caught wind of our little race. Not sure how they found out, but it's kinda neat:

OPERATION LOVERBOY commences in less than 24 hours. If you haven't found a valentine on your own, don't give up on love. Come to Kenwick Park and let the OPERATION LOVERBOY MATCHMAKER find you a valentine quicker than a heartbeat.

Registration starts at 1:30 PM and racing commences at 2:05 PM. Fee is $5 per racer or $10 per two person team. All teams MUST, I repeat, MUST HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA OR CAMERA PHONE. Teams may also want a phone and a pen. Race checkpoints will not be disclosed. They are embedded in clues. Each team will need a Lexingtonian. More info at www.lexrides.com

The answer to last weeks sample clue... Word Scramble: KENTUCKY THEATER

As you consider the race day forecast, I leave you with the words of our Commander-in-Chief, "YOUR EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US!"

Thanks to everybody for coming out and racing on such a cold, windy day! A special thanks to CRICKET PRESS, GHOSTSHIP, LYNAGH'S PUB, and PEDAL THE PLANET for race sponsorship. Brian, Sara, Elizabeth, and Kremena, I'm grateful for all your help.

I saw a lot of creative pictures yesterday. Post your race pictures on this thread.
