Oooh running on cobblestones in a THUNDERSTORM!!!- sign *me* up!!!
Actually I already did.

About 1 mile each way of this is on cobblestone.
The elites take off at 8:30 then the waves start. Mine is supposed to go off at 9AM.

4. They like to talk about how "healthy" this whole exposition is
but truth be told the real reason for it is


open

public

drinking

At least it isn't as lame as the Easter parade which is on the same street and is nothing but people in funny hats (the people are the parade :eyes: ) and lots and lots of vodka
