The riding down that way kind of stinks, flat and not really twisty, and it may well be cold that time of year, but I think I will attend this, looks like a hoot.

Last years' longest 'chuck': 4,434 feet
Total distance for all ~60 chucks: 12 miles!

Hm, might have to make it up there!
One of the local farms usually has an air cannon every fall. It's not too big, but it's still fun to hear it charge up and launch. I've always wanted to build a large trebuchet for chunkin.
