YUCK! Sounds kind of like our local pie race. Something about riding as hard as possible and then eating fat-laden/sugar-laden food sounds not so appealing... I'll just stick to the riding hard part.

Heh, I'm the creator of the Pie Race
Actually, it was from hearing about another Donut Race (in PA, I think) that I thought of the Pie Race. The new venue of the Bike Festival had really good pies, and initially I was thinking about a pie-eating contest, but that wasn't bike-y enough.
In case the website doesn't mention it, we did have a "no booting" rule - vomit DQs you. We also had controls to make sure that you actually swallowed the pie.
I would LOVE a donut race. I adore donuts, and ironically, I don't even like pie.

I love the pie race. That is, I love the idea of it. I have wanted to do it every year but every year on that day I have had a conflict (and will likely have that same conflict this year if it's the same weekend as in years past), so I have never done it. Obie, I didn't know you invented that. Cool! I have never done a road race, but if it involves a pie-eating contest (Or donuts, or cake, or Hostess Snoballs, or . . .), I'm there. I think I could really excel at the stuffing my face with pastries part.

but can you eat and ride at the same time or do you have to stop and eat while someone make sure eat ate the WHOOLLEE thing.
ugghhh! I'll pass on the donut. last thing I need is to have 2000 Calorie intake and only burn 1000 Calories or whatever I burn for the 21 mile course. Maybe I can talk my brother-in-law.

No hurling allowed
My husband's Rotary Club is sponsoring (and planning) this race-- I've been helping him. There is a no barf policy-- if a judge sees you blow your donuts, you lose your time bonus. This all came from a hilarious story in bicycling magazine a year ago or so-- online at http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6...04-1-P,00.html
Looking forward to seeing you there, Lifesgreat!

The tour de pie sounds like fun!! Too bad my vacation is the week before or i would come and participate. I work weekends so it's not like I can extend my vacation..drats..I will have to keep it in mind for next year..Pies=yuummm..donuts= heartburn..However, I am sure I can always be pursuaded to participate in anything that involves food..
