Top: After the ride riders could get free massages and other aid at the finish line bike expo. My relaxation method simply required a beer from the beer booth.
Bottom: this young lady was talking on the cell while cooling down with a cigarette. She had just finished the 109 in 7:08 she said. Her name was Cristina with a C and was from New York with her chapter of Team In Training. Team in Training has chapters in many cities and they must have had a dozen different teams participating with at least 10 to 20 people per team. As a group they raised over 1 million dollars towards medical research for this ride.
