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.

Stories from John Flanigan, Brent Myers

John Flanigan has sent us a "Sleeping Rough" vignette.
