A visual ride report from Poughkeepsie, NY -> Montreal. 325 miles over 2 days, fixed gear no brakes.
I wish I had documented how much candy I ate over the course of this. It was probably at least a dozen bags of gummies and nerd clusters
Market Street, 69 blocks of road where North and South meet, and a rail line connecting West Philly to the city's heartbeat.
One street. One checkpoint.
Sunday May 17th
Meet at The Porch at 30th St
Reg at 2PM, race at 3PM
Entry $: $10-15 sliding scale or a half-hour of your pay

Reg fees go into a winner's pot which will be split between 🥇 Open and 🥇 WTF. In addition, first out of town in both categories gets $100. Cash will be for BRAKELESS RACERS ONLY. More prizes and goodies for podium placers in both categories, regardless of your bike setup as long as it's human-powered.
After everyone finishes, we'll roll on out as a group to Penn Treaty Park to do the podium. Some brews and grub will be provided.
