Expresso madness: Final results

As a quick follow-up to the previous post: Schoolcraft College earned its top seed with a come-from-behind victory in the Expresso Bike Challenge over your favorite Red Foxes of Marist College. The numbers were staggering: Schoolcraft logged 4,346 miles to Marist's 4,135 miles. For those keeping score at home, Schoolcraft averaged 90.5416 miles per hour to Marist's 86.145 miles per hour. However! We have six (6) Expresso bikes in our fitness center, which averages out to 14.3576 miles per hour, nonstop, for every bike in our gym; Schoolcraft has nine (9) bikes in their fitness center, for an average of 10.06 miles per hour on each of their bikes. Our athletic department put in a Herculean effort -- in particular our program (Track and XC) along with men's crew. Over the last 8 hours, team captain Mark Valentino did not leave the premises and he oversaw an operation in which hard-core riders from track and crew were constantly whirring away in a noble but ultimately futile effort to keep pace with mighty Schoolcraft. It was fun while it lasted and we should be proud of our efforts.
