a good mix

Submitted by X-topher on Sun, 08/31/2008 - 16:01.

I just rode the route and it is a lot of fun. There are plenty of fast miles for the roadies, some pleasant neighborhood roads for the rubbernecker, enough urban treachery to scare the uninitiated, and some logistical complexity to confuse the suburbanite (good luck finding elliot st!).

definitely more open

Submitted by Stupefying Jones on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 09:43.

definitely more open straightaways on this route compared to last year's.

heh, elliot street!!

that there was a big dude riding in the race for APB's team. You might be the biggest solo so far tho. Do it Scott!

There is not a clydesdale class yet but we have been known to make up categories mid-race.

You sure you want a piece of me?

I will not only meet your challenge, I will be sure to shoulder check your skinny ass when I pass it on the course... The gloves are off good sir!

I love the smell of trash talk in the morning... smells like teen spunkmint!

Bring in on, doughboy!

Submitted by Alex on Thu, 09/04/2008 - 07:56.

Ask around, though... you might find out that skinny doesn't really quite describe yours truly.

And by the way, I don't wear gloves. Real men have calluses.

(by the way, us trash talkers are also talking about getting a beer once all is said and done)

Yes you will

Submitted by Alex on Thu, 09/04/2008 - 10:48.

Ain't you riding in the "I'm too whimpy to do it alone so I have five other people taking turns so I don't break my nails" category? Might as well drive when you take your laps so you won't sweat either.

Unless you're 6'4 and over 265 you are skinny to me.

BTW, I have calluses on both hands, not just one like you... ;)

Single handed callus

I'll take that as a compliment re: firmness. Who told you about that?

Gonna be a good race!

I talked to a co-worker who said they saw a person riding in a gymnastic leotard outfit, I'm assuming this was you. You were noticed.

Whats up guy, I feel honored to be a part of one of the Biggest Ally cat races in the country!!! The is going to be a blast. I have seen some of you guys and girls riding by checking out the route. For the folks last night who rode by, got a little treat from the GSU JAZZ grad students(12 people in and out full on jam of some rockin jazz). For the racers that dont know we got a party going on here during the race. Some good high Carb food (made from scratch mac/cheeze) Veggy sammys for the nothing with a face eaters and pulled pork BBQ for the full on Carnivors. 60" big screen showing Death Race 2000 the original, oh and dont forget the live burlesque show at 9pm from the BLASTOFF BURLESQUE. Racers be safe and have a fun ride.
