How fun! You totally would have won it if you had lost that totally non-aero bike horn!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Is that a podium photo?
Is the orange bike the 1st place bike? It looks fast, there are flames on the seat
You're really boobstothetube in that shot
that's a remarkable speed for those bikes?
Ha! For me that's a remarkable speed, period.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

YEs, that was the podium picture, I was just the flower girl. I even pretended to kiss the sweaty champ. The second place guy had already gone back to his office. He clearly had no idea that he did as well as he did. I had to chase him down to give him his prize. and third place, standing thereright below the podium. It didn't take people long to figure out that orange bikes are faster than magenta bikes which are faster than yellow bikes. yes that was the fastest bike.
Our rotating trophy for the record went from our building to the building next door, as the 25 mph speed broke last year's record and dethroned the record holder.
And yes, we'll definitely do it next year.
