Death Ride
Now THAT is an f-ing awesome jersey!!
http://www.deathride.com/
Interesting warning from web page... hail? snow? pre-dawn hours? cows?
I'm intrigued. (pasted warning below) I can't figure out if you just register or have to win a qualifying race. (You have to qualify for the Hawaiian Iron man and for Escape from Alcatraz.) F is going to kill me if I sign up for this and then hurtle off an edge of Ebbets pass. He may get super cranky if I register at all if it seems dangerous. I need to survive my shark-athlon in September first, but this. looks. interesting.
(quoted from web page)
Required Safety Rules:

Use proper lighting if starting before daylight
Approved helmets are always required
Earphones are prohibited (riders can be cited by local law enforcement agencies)
