yeah great race! and the secret checkpoint on johnson was hilarious - props to whoever that was.


that was none other than Brad & Laura Flowers at the Johnson stop. Wish I could've seen it myself.

was it just a freak accident or did anyone else not have the chain on their cog when they started?


chain trolls... they live in the park and frequent the bike polo area.

It was on the way to the Johnson stop that someone yelled out a car window at my group "you kids in the WRONG neighborhood!"

Thanks to everybody involved for doing an awesome job putting the race together!

there were a lot of funny residents around johnson. one told me i was a cheater when i asked him if we were close to the house number, he laughed and told his friends not to tell us. it was awesome, they seemed to be getting into it and having fun.

Thanks Brian and Sara. I had an awesome time getting drunk in my back yard and watching the bobbing antics. A thanks to Ross for hosting the after party. I was amazed at the turn out, Lex just keeps getting cooler.

that is amazing that 89 people can raise hell on the streets of lexington and no serious accidents. It was great when people were all leaving Woodland Park and going toward the Heart Rd. stop the cars were in shock so they just stopped in the middle of the road.
