The race started at Wa Leg on 4th, around 7pm. The racers all sprinted to the Five Point to get their first manifest and mobbed directly to 601 Union. There they met Chris King at the Asian bell in Freeway park, and were lured by the Golden Nugget, so they all kissed it. Ali knocked it over and put it back upside down... then everyone dropped down to Bikestation, and up to 633 Yesler to get manifest #2. Apparently, nearly everyone walked up Yesler. Bitches. So then they had to visit Dead Baby at the Harbor Steps before rolling to Pier 66 for a date with the Dirty Buzzards. Tallbikes, minibikes... we don't know, we weren't there.

By the time bikes were making it back to Wa Leg and on to the finish we we're waiting out in front of The Lobo. Byron was the first one in, but he had a manifest issue. Everyone showed up at the finish, and thankfully, Messmann survived the race. Thanks to Brandon for sacrificing precious race time to help. Thanks also, to the women who did show up to ride.

A few people started hitting the ball about 9:30 and it was great. Polo went on the entire night, until we gave away the nugget...well, okay, it didn't stop then. Listed below are the results. Next week, we'll post the media here as well. See you in February, thanks again. All photos on this page by Rob Kittilson.
