Myers Park is one of Charlotte's oldest neighborhoods and perhaps its most beautiful. You ride through, look at the enormous houses and only old money comes to mind. The last ten years or so, it's been a haven for healthy folks who ride fancy bicycles and run. Many of those people ran or rode the same route over and over again. Many of those people were females with really nice asses. Eventually the route was named the Booty Loop.
Charlotte isn't a place for the politically incorrect. People whine, bitch and generally get bent out of shape if you tell a dirty joke or talk about a female in a derogatory manner. Well, at least if you do it publicly. In fact, the school board recently changed the name of a school for challenged students from Derita Alternative School to Turning Point Academy. Our feelings are easily hurt when it comes to possibly offensive content. Thank goodness that didn't deter the organizers of the 24 Hours of Booty. They've turned their passion for cycling into raising an absolute shit ton of money for cancer research. Their goal this year was to raise a million bucks in two rides this year. Their first one Friday night raised more than 800,000 dollars.
Some of these people actually ride their bicycles for the entire 24 hours with only a few breaks to pee and eat. Others ride for a few hours or a few minutes. It really doesn't matter as long as you're raising money. The second ride in Columbia, MD is in September. I don't think they're going to have a ton of trouble reaching their goal. Their should at least be some booty.
