YOU ARE KILLING ME!! Don't tempt me!
I haven't gone since TO changed months. I don't think I can drink that much!

I went in 07. I pulled a trailer with a fake palm tree that had Christmas lights. The trailer was filled with ice and mai tais and a case of TK. 10,000 of us, or is it 2000? can't remember, are riding around the airport and a buddy asks what I have in the trailer. I say "mai tais and Tecate, grab one", we are still pedaling along Harbor. He pulls a fifth of Knob Creek out of his Chrome bag and hands it to me, still pedaling. I have to keep one hand on the handlebars 'cuz i'm pulling a trailer so, I pull the cork with my teeth and take a swig, seal it, hand it back. A few miles later 10 of us pull into a Navy bar to take a break. "HEY!! They have karaoke!!" So, we take cracks at it. 1/2hr break is over, we hop back on the bikes and head up Rosecrans.

2:00AM: "UH OH!! What the F?!?! My bike explodes just past MCRD. I have to bail. I roll down to Midway and have to call my wife. "Riiinng, riii, "Want me to pick you up?" is the answer on her end. :) I say "That would be awesome!" I hide the bike and trailer in some bushes and 20 minutes later I am home.

7:00AM I go back out to pick the bike and trailer up before a homeless guy scores it.

Another buddy (TALLL guy) rode a tandem by himself from the back seat. Another guy pulled a ten speaker sound system. An old '70s Kenwood system!!
And!! there was also a warm up/keg party earlier in the evening on Adams five miles away from the start where we actually rode from!

I just don't think I can pull T.O.10 & Midnight Madness off on the same weekend. That would require toooo much restraint.

This is one of the best events in San Diego!! The crowd is so thick 5-0 can't stop the..., well none of this ever happened. Really! :wink:
