Big thanks to all you peeps who showed up to race, and a bigger thanks to all of the rad volunteers that loitered outside grocery stores and made the race work so well.

We had 56 racers show up, and 15 of those racers were girls. and 100% of those girls were the most badass girls you've ever seen (aside from the girls that volunteered to help out and run checkpoints, of course).

I'd also like to point out the generosity of some local establishments--I've heard that most of the store employees that came into contact with racers were very impressed with the idea and with the enthusiasm of everyone involved, and the owner of Super Cao Nguyen has donated a can to the food bank for every racer that visited his store!

Sauced really came through, providing at least a half dozen pizzas to the hungry racers, $40 in gift certificates, and priceless friendship and support to the local community. When I tried to pay for the pizzas Ed said whatever we gave him he was going to turn around and give to the food bank--which meant $131 was donated, in addition to the [b]336 pounds of food[/b]--according to the food bank, we provided [b]1179 meals[/b] to the hungry in Oklahoma--not bad for a bunch of constantly drunk dirtbags that advertise with man cards, eh?

The main point of the race was not to win bitchin' schwag, but congrats nevertheless to KW, Nick, Caleb and Traci for bringin home some phat loot with your riding/wrecking skillz. I'd like to point out that while 4 Bone Shakers won prizes, only 2 hellkats snagged prizes...maybe next time pretty boys ;)

For all you boneshakers with some cash looking to buy xmas presents for your family members/favorite webmasters, consider dropping some dough at the following sponsors of the race and let 'em know how much you appreciated their support of the hungry in Oklahoma:

Gah that was a lot of links and stuff.

P.S. If you have photos of the race, send 'em my way: 405boneshakers@gmail.com

P.P.S. Thinkin about making some shirts for earth day that say 422 RIDE BIKES EVERY DAY

I think one of Caleb's friends can help us out, and we could probably sell them to people that like the earth/bicycles/not being a douchebag. any takers?
