Think of the Tour de Donut of Troy, Ohio as a race that combines competitive eating and bike racing. It's the chessboxing of the bicycle world.
Competitors race their bikes to a sequence of participating donut shops. Each donut eaten along the way, with a maximum of three donuts per stop, deducts five minutes of ride time. The person with the lowest time at the end wins. About half of participants forego eating any donuts at all.
The course lengths vary, ranging from 9.72 miles for casual competitors to 58.5 miles for ultimate athletes.
