(From Deuce of Davenport via Deadspin)
A 6.5 mile bicycle race during which competitors will eat three slices of pie will be held in Concord, MA on August 25:
A short race against the clock with a unique twist: three “pie stops” (two along the way and one at the finish) where you will dismount your bike and eat a slice of pie! A test of not just your legs but your stomach, with excellent prizes to reward you for your daring. Please note the Pie Race is limited to the first 60 registrants, so sign up now!

Why is it when I started reading this, a song titled “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen started playing in my head?
I need to get on my bicycle and ride.

They’ve missed the point on testing the stomach. Why only 3 slices of pie and 6.5 miles on a bike?
A better contest would be to eat an entire pie, walk up a flight of stairs, rinse, lather and repeat.

Kevin,
you’re onto something. They need to test extremes…longer bike ride, and significantly more pie. A whole pie at each stop would produce exciting results for the average competitor!

Now how many people are going to enter that contest Steak? Or are you looking to seal the win for yourself? I remember at Windmills after the hot Dog competition we entered the beer barrel races. I did not feel too good after that, and it was only about 20 yards. You know what I am talking about, you were the anchor man.
