Title: I entered a 32 mile Bicycle race & came in 3rd!
Post by: G0ALY on September 20, 2012, 06:12:56 PM: My wife and I entered “The Tour De Donut” in Arcanum, Ohio. It’s a 32 mile bicycle race with 2 donut stops. For each donut you eat at the stops, 5 minutes is deducted from your total ride time. There were over 1,100 participants this year...

This was the starting line in front of us.

And the line behind us when we started.

And I came in THIRD PLACE!!!! (I’m not talking about speed… Man we took a long time. I'm bragging that only two people ate more donuts than me.) I finished 20 donuts. Second place was 21,and first place was 24. Not bad for my first race!

Here is a little video that someone made of last years race. As you can see, it’s pretty lighthearted.

Sounds like a fun race!
