An hour-long pause at the Beer Stop makes a timing chip pretty irrelevant....   Smiley

But that's the kind of thing they're wanting to learn from the chips, where riders stop and for how long, along with how many really ride what they signed up for.

I hadn't thought about that aspect.  Sure would give them good intel on how to better the ride.

Got my spot reserved, too.
 
I notice the start for the pro racers has been changed from 7:00 am to 12:30 pm this year. Guess they got tired of those pesky recumbent riders catching up with the pack.

I don't know why they'd want a pack of racers screaming through a bunch of slow, weaving stragglers at the end!

So many riders started early that they got in the way of the racers.
 
I assume they have a different return route.

I guess organization is what they do.  They've organized more races than I have.

Ya know with the chips, the organizers will be wondering why it takes 3 hrs. to ride from mile 90 to the finish. Busted

Yes but that stop is more than FAMOUS, as everyone talks about the last stop, plus HHH is known for its outstanding rest stops..
