Technically, these are actually two different greenways that are joined by a pool and skateboard park. From one end of the first, to the opposite end of the second one is 16 miles. So there and back, coupled with a 4 mile+ street ride to downtown and back from the first one, puts it over 40 miles for me.

An all-out race is a bit of an exaggeration, but it does get somewhat competitive between cyclists and their egos. Not to the point of being reckless or putting others in jeopardy though. Riders hate getting passed around here, especially the roadies when getting passed by a hybrid.
