A couple of notes on the race from Streetsblog:
- The route will run over forty miles, which isn’t a long distance for this team which usually hustles 50-70 miles
- The bike riders aren’t the whole group known as Wolfpack Hustle, just Wolfpack A, the elite of the already elite hustle crowd
- Wolfpack A “rides legal,” i.e. this won’t turn into a story about how cyclists have to run red lights to win the race
- This entire idea was hatched and organized on twitter. The idea started with a tweet from Gary Kavanagh, was proposed to Jet Blue by Anthony and the Wolfpack was organized all on social media yesterday morning and afternoon. Anthony’s Bike Commute News piece provides the timeline, and a case study on how to use social media.
