    Like banishing beads and masks from Mardi Gras or removing the red carpet and gold statues from the Academy Awards, the banning of floats, beer and nudity at this year's Bay to Breakers will take all the fun out of it, many longtime revelers say. City leaders and sponsors of the 98th annual wacky footrace announced several major changes Wednesday that detractors say will turn the over-the-top, only-in-San Francisco party into a 12K footrace like any other race in any other city in the world.

    The San Francisco "BAY TO BREAKERS" race/walk/party (@ 7.5 miles) will be Sunday, May 19th. It's a great place to get a message out, since there will be 70,000+ people participating, and, worldwide media coverage. Are there any Bay Area FReepers interested in walking/strolling/FRalking/FRolling the route? : ) Here's the website for those who want more info about the race BAYTOBREAKERS.COM (I think people can also walk it without signing up "officially.")
