About a block away from the finish line we rode past a group of riders waiting to turn on a red light including two teams we kept running into at every checkpoint. As we ride by the whole group starts yelling "tandem" and it was on as they took sidewalks and whatever it took to catch up in a mad dash towards the finish. After some awesome power slides and unbelievable moves never before seen on a big wheel we came up victorious...epic<br />
