Seth and Ray most certainly put on an excellent adventure. Great manifest, amazing turnout, tasty weather, and nice schwag at the after party.
I used a new strategy for this race, which netted me a nice 75th place finish (out of almost 90...). I picked my commuter bike, complete with rack and double panniers packed to the brim with ice and frosty PBR, lots of smokes and a sit-down bullshit session every 2 or 3 stops. The long haul out to L13 was a perfect stretch to have other riders dip into the bags and pass beers around to all. By the time I hit the after party, it was all I could do to shovel in a couple of burgers (MOST of the way done) and finish a cup of Kevin's Kolsch before pedal-stumbling home and trying to start a fight with a minivan. (Not even the dudes IN the van, no, the van itself). Goddamn good job, fellas! Start working on the next race!
I talked to my friend Jake from the Ram brewery and he says he has a good ride and wants to put it on sometime in early December. All I know so far is the tentative name: Magic Moustache Ride. I'll post more as it develops.
Cheers,
Brook

Nice work guys! That looks fun.. what was the manifest like? And heya I am in need of some help with D&P4. You guys in to riding some mock manifests for me?
as long as you don't mock us as we ride them.
How about I mock your socks while I ride them "hypothetical" manifests.... I think it was about 18 miles if you knew the shortcuts, 13 stops, three signature ones and only one shot if you were a bad shot. Get it? I'm feeling witty right now but it could be those Friday night beers. Love to help out again in the D&P4. The soccer stop was rad!
