How to bYOBW on 4/4/2010
How I did it: You dress up in your silliest costume you can afford to ruin and take your little brother's/sister's big wheel to the top of Vermont Street (it used to be Lombard but got moved because of popularity) at 4PM on Easter and whammo!! You are in the race.
Lessons & tips: It's rain or shine, so if it looks like rain bring a towel to dry yourself off. Other crucials: Leave your valuables in the car. Have a friend hold your keys. Get a mounting for your camera on your helmet. Have your friend take pictures somewhere in the second turn. Duct tape your parts so they are more sturdy and be prepared to have fun! Also, they make you sign a waver so get there early.
