Mission Statement

The 24 hour VeloVulture is committed to bringing you 86400 seconds of mental anguish followed by a lingering physical exhaustion of caloric deficit and sleep deprivation during the 5th and 6th of September. This all we will trade for the small price of gathering the best stories, memories and pictures you are likely to acquire during the summer of '09.

UPDATE: We just set up a collective album on Picassa. Send an email to 24hourvelovulture2009@gmail.com and we'll give you permission to contribute to it. And if you have your own photo page we can put a link up to that too.

At 4:30 in the morning C39 and I (M61) headed out on an almost wild goose chase at Riverview Cemetery in the SW. After having been turned around (by me and my horrible sense of direction)and heading half way back to downtown C39 righted the ship and saved the day. We were tired, we were delirious with lack of sleep and fatigue, we were looking for a Holy Grail that we may have never found. On the verge of abandoning the stop after about 2 1/2 hours of riding and searching we saw the sun coming up and snapped this picture. Then, beyond all hope, we discovered the item we were looking for! We were the only ones in the race to do so and it was a major boost to morale and a turning point of the race for me at least.

This year you will not be as lucky as I was last year, C39 (Charlie M-F) is a part of the three headed organizing crew, (along with arm Clair and arm Megan). You can be sure we will put together an epic event for you and you will all be going to your own personal heaven for having participated, I promise.
