Hoka Hey Challenge
« on: July 06, 2010, 09:44:35 AM »
I just came across this story this morning about an incredibily outlandish HD only race from Key West to Homer Alaska.

To get a really full picture of the scope of this travesty you really must Google the Hoka Hey Challenge and see the various news articles and blogs.  So far two riders have been confirmed killed and several others have been injured in wrecks.  What were these guys thinking?
