Other than who could raise the most money I'm not sure what other competitive angle was attached to this event. |

Maybe it was like the local Pacific Populaire (not a charity ride, but a 100 km rando ride in April). At the start, one of the organizers stands in front of the pack and says "this is not a race!" and then the front half of the pack went "ho ho ho ho ho!" Best finishing time was 2:52; I clocked a 2:55. Arguably the fastest ride I have ever done. -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.wiredcola.com Verus de parvis; verus de magnis. |

IN loooking at the event home page it turns out they did keep track of the first male and female finishers for the rides ( and the largest fundraiser). They also had a couple of criteriums, of course the criteriums were limited to the celebrities involved who were partnered up with people from the charity that was benefiting form event For those who can't watch the TV coverage and have to know the results of the criteriums here they are First Race: 1st * Jeremy Serrano and Jay Gibson (12:41) 2nd * Jon Lowe and Rob Lowe (13:34) 3rd * Bill Nelson and Tate Donovan (14:14) Second Race: 1st * Jeremy Serrano and Andrew Bancroft (12:23) 2nd * Steven White and Carl Lewis (13:48) 3rd * Mathew Lowe and Greg Dune (14:01) |

At the start, one of the organizers stands in front of the pack and says "this is not a race!" and then the front half of the pack went "ho ho ho ho ho!" this reminds me of the announcements before concerts at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The announcer states: "The State of Kalifornia has decided this should be a non-smoking venue." At that exact point, sparks from lighters light up the place. Quite funny. Gerald |
