It's on

Seems there are enough nutters out there to make this happen so it's on:

Date: Friday 9/9.
Time: Midnight
Start: Madison WI, Capitol square
Finish: See below
Entry: Donations for misc costs, leftover cash will be donated to an appropriate group (probably the "friends of the badger state").

The "race" starts at the Capitol square at midnight on Friday 9/9 and heads directly to the Southwest Commuter path and proceeds to the Badger State trail and then all the way down to the IL/WI border. The first rider to reach the border wins, picks up a backpack of awards, chooses one for them self, and starts heading back. The first person that the winner runs into becomes 2nd place, next is 3rd, etc until there is a parade of all the riders heading back to town as the sun rises. Then breakfast somewhere.

The winner will do a total of about 90 miles and the slower you are the less you have to ride. No support, no sag wagon.

Some form of signup will appear on this site in the near future so keep an eye on it.
