No. They can't even track the participants. There's more unregistered than registered, and there was 8500 registered.
One guy rides a fixie with a sign that says "Gears are for Wimps". He goes the whole way, hills and all.
Another guy rides a bike with no seat - just the post- yes he goes the whole way too.
One guy carried a huge wooden cross, with his water bottle taped to it. I don't think he made it the whole way, but what a statement.
