Revised Cue Sheet Posted

I have posted a revised cue sheet:

• Return Oberlin control moved to Norton.
• Final stretch on Hwy. 52 and 95th St. "unkinked" to return to busier but more straightforward route used prior to 2009 (when there was road construction).

I don't anticipate more revisions, but we will be hearing back from our pre-riders when they return.

2010 Cue Sheet Posted

I've posted this year's Last Chance cue sheet. The route is the same, but a few controls have been switched: there are now outbound and return controls in Oberlin and Phillipsburg, and none in Norton.

When I have time, I will update the map - again, the change is only in the control locations.

Wendy Gardiner's photomontage!

Here are a couple of great slideshows from Wendy Gardiner (links also added to the left):

• Heading to the Event
• Riding the Last Chance

... including the required rando experience of sleeping in a post office. And inquiring minds want to know: who is that sunflower wearing those Foster Grants?

Thanks, Wendy!

Last Chance "Big Book" of Results Published!

Tim Feldman has compiled finisher results of all seven editions of the Last Chance 1200k, from 2001 through this year, into a single page: one table for 1200k and a second for 1000k finishers. This evokes the figurative "Grand Livre" (Big Book) into which Paris-Brest-Paris finishers are inscribed. Thanks, Tim!

Bill Olsen, Alain Abbate, and Viktoriya Shundrovskaya finish Last Chance 2009:

The next edition of the Last Chance is slated for 9/15/2010.
