Bicycle cops competing??

Only in America- home of the whopper would this be even remotely interesting news. I'm semi-shocked this wasn't endorsed by Dunkin Donuts.

/Cops would be really good at this.

"I got to see some guy puke after eating 25 doughnuts, so that was interesting," Stevens said.

I've wanted to do a Dunkies themed race here, but our DD density isn't quite enough yet. Maybe in another six months. I just don't want people to ralph all over my fancy silver shoes; that stank won't ever come out.

Besides, it won't fit on this year's race schedule. Maybe next year.

I'm competitive in this sport on and off the race course.

ok....so they take off 5 minutes for every donut you eat?

I will enter next year's race....there, I already finished it

 
nottoooldforfunny 2008-07-13 12:07:29 PM  
There is a beer race in Monroe, WI every other year during "Cheese Days" (hey, it's Wisconsin!)The participants, some serious runners, run from the brewery to a local bar where they must consume a pint of strong beer, stout I think. Then they run back to the brewery. Street cred given for those who make good time and don't puke. Onlookers however, do clap and jeer at the pukers.Just lots of good fun all around.

/Cheese days is a three day excuse to drink too much beer while eating too much food.It is the third weekend in September on even years.

Another reason to hate bikers...eating all the donuts...

I myself champion the Cincinnati Biathalon. It's a combination of inline skating and slingshots.

Oh, and a BAC of at least 0.05.

you scare me
some

i think if i ever did a bike thing (first have to find a really tall bike)

maybe the ms 150 from houston to austin, the're a group called the scragglers or something like that, cause i'd be happy to just finish

 
Gilligan13 2008-07-13 01:25:45 PM  
I always liked the race we did back in college. We called it the Miller Mile and the winner got free alcohol for the rest of the day/night, paid for by everybody else in the house. Goes like this: Shotgun 1 beer, run a quarter mile, shotgun 2 beers, run the second quarter mile, shotgun 3 beers, run the third quarter mile, shotgun 4 beers, run the last quarter mile. Puke and you are disqualified. Rules said you couldn't puke until crossing the finish line.

/won twice
//Don't recommend trying

I feel this race is more about getting people to crap themselves than anything else.

Any contests that combine kayaking and competitive pussy eating?

/Doesn't actually own a kayak

A friend recently competed in Seattle's first Taco Truck Time Trial (pops):

1st checkpoint: do a shot of tequila
2nd: ride a zipline, acquire a barf bag
3rd: eat a taco, ride up a big hill
4th: eat another taco, ride up a big hill
5th: eat another taco, ride up a stupid big, really steep hill

If you threw up in your bag, and presented it at the end, you got your entry fee refunded.

 
usrid0 2008-07-13 02:31:09 PM  
I'll stick to alley cats where you have to chug a beer at the checkpoints.

 
AltheaToldMe 2008-07-13 02:36:25 PM  
What a poorly written article... How many ways can you spell donut in on article?

"but throw in dozens upon dozens of doughnuts and you have the Tour de Donut"

"(depending on number of doghnuts eaten) and for most doughnuts eaten."

Hm, this is about as healthy as a non-filtered cigarette smoking contest, probably worse.

Ah yes, One of the "Events" of the area I used to live in.
Its not new, Been around 10 years or more.
Usually it was held on the river road between Alton and Grafton.
I guess the recent flooding made them change the route.

Next week the town I live in now is going to celebrate Bagelfest.

BagelFest Link (new window)

They give away 50,000 bagels with cream cheese, honey, jam & butter (of your choice); Have a parade; A 5k Run; Concerts; Carnival; Talent contest; And a Miss Bagelfest Contest.

So, If your in the area of central Illinios, Come and stop by Mattoon July 17-19 for a free bagel. :)

I raced in one of these yesterday.

Our donuts only took three minutes off of the time.

A lot of people had race times that where in negative territory.

Yes, there where a lot of cops that raced.

I notice they did not tell who puked. Would have been much more funny if they had.

I've ridden the Houston area one a few times. Overall, pretty disgusting after about 3 donuts. I saw a guy, multiple times, smashing a dozen together to try to eat them at once. I don't remember the record but it would make you sick to your stomach thinking about it.

Best time was riding past a guy on a bike out mountain bike handle bars (straight across) and donuts hanging from the brake levers. Nice.

In the race I was in you where not allowed to eat donuts while you where riding. You had to eat the donuts at the station, when you where done they marked your card, and off you went.
