Yo I was gonna hijack the Cranksgiving thread to tell people about the (unrelated) party we are having after the ride but to my surprise no such thread exists. So ... here yo go.
Go to Cranksgiving and ride your ass off. If you are up for a beer and a round of Paperboby come on by to the Barcade for beer, noodles, inventive k-town cocktails and funky-ass music.

Cranksgiving is a messenger thrown alleycat race that was started in NYC 9 years ago and picked up by LA messengers 7 years ago. Now there's one in SF too!!
The idea is that instead of a race fee, riders spend about $10 on food for the needy which is then dropped off at a shelter/drop spot, as part of the race!!
It is a great cause and a really great time and everyone should come out for this!!!
cash prizes for the winners along with some custom RRH shwag, and probably some other goodies.
(but the real prize is donating food via bicycles right??)

ok - so if you don't wanna race but still want to participate, the deal is:
show up at the beginning and get a race packet. do the checkpoints you want, at the cruising/racing speed you want, and bring it to "Para Los Ninos", which is the last checkpoint before the end at O20/Uck!
