For reasons beyond our (and Jack's Pizza) control, we can no longer use Jack's Pizza in FM.24. The primary venue for FM.24.09 has been changed to Elliott St Deli and Pub. If you show up at Jack's pizza, you're at the wrong place!
Sorry for switching things with such short notice, to make it up to you we're having a few live bands.
A new route (12.2 miles) starting and ending at Elliott St has been uploaded and should show up on http://24.fastermustache.org shortly.
Cool
I'll post on a few sites to make sure everyone is updated.
Completely gone?
I get that the start/finish is now at Elliot St., but is the checkpoint at Jack's gone completely too?
Correct. For reason's beyond
Correct. For reason's beyond our and Jack's control, it is no longer a checkpoint.

Does this mean we're going straight from Outback to No Brake's?

Not to be nosy or anything,
Not to be nosy or anything, but what reasons are there beyond Jack's control? Cops? Going out of business?
Insurmountable logistical
Insurmountable logistical concerns with the neighborhood. Elliott St's location offers a lot of advantages in this department. They are at the intersection of a deadend and a closed street. Goodbye traffic control!
Keep up the good work, guys!
Keep up the good work, guys! Keeping all the interlocking logistics straight for this race deserves major kudos.

for people still checking that, jack's is listed as checkpoint #0 on 24.fm.org

Chris said it takes a while for Google to cashe out (or something).
Google caches the kml files.
Google caches the kml files. This has to expire before the new one shows up.
If you hit up http://24.fastermustache.org/2009/route.kml in Google Earth or something other than google maps, it should work right now there.
New route is showing up on
New route is showing up on 24.fm now. Also, we're slowly adding times and locations for the various mini-events. Keep checking back at http://24.fastermustache.org/ !

Finally got to ride the route today. Pretty nifty ride.
Mommy.
Sorta out of shape (I guess round is a shape tho) right now due to many things beyond my control but I plan to defend last years 5th place solo effort anyway. I wish there was a Super Fukking Clydesdale class in dis beeotch! I'm thinking I'm rollin up weighing 285 this time but even with a broken toe/rib I'll be in da mix.

chicked...
you were fifth place MALE solo last year :)
.
oh snap
(this coming from someone who gets chicked multiple time daily on my commute)
You are in shape, dollface
round is a shape.
[NOTE: Don't let Scott fool you with this talk. He may be no tinkerbell, but he is one fast Mofo and I had trouble keeping up with him for a good 6 hrs of the race last year.]
[NOTE 2: He did get chicked, though...]
Thanks SweetPea!
You only beat me cuz I stopped to fix/yank another racers chain... you coming to this one?
Anybody up for a Grapple match (Sorry Alex, you have to be over 4ft tall)?
-Scott
Nah
I am crisis'ed out.
I made a last ditch effort today, tickets are not bulgin below 1.5k, so I am staying home this year.
Back then
In the good old days that was what, 5 hours of your work?
I wish..
ask a lawyer to divide his/her take home pay by the number of hours s/he spends at the office and you'll see how fast you can make a grown person begin to cry.
