Tour de Shore - 2006



What is Tour de Shore? I'm sure there are many other events that share this name, however, I am referring to the one that takes place every August in Avalon, NJ.

It's part scavenger hunt, part bike race, part costume party, part bar tour. Individually, each of these is fun. Roll them all together in one day, and you have yourself one hell of an event. Check out the clock in the background of the second pic...it's only a little after noon on a Sunday...and the bar was packed and the drinks were flowing. There is always a mass of Philadelphia area professionals that call out 'sick' the Monday following.

I believe this year marked the 20th anniversary. I've done it for the last six years. To get a better sense of what the day entails, check out pics from the 'un-official site'.
