Here is my entry into this esteemed competition.

My gps didn't work well in the twisty sections. Also, I don't remember going 379 mph at any point, but maybe I blacked out.
Topofusion
I use Topofusion on Windows (http://www.topofusion.com/). They have a free trial and paid version. The user interface could use some work, but it has a lot of features and is easy to use once you get used to it.
I sometimes use google maps to create a route, then run this script on it to create a gpx file or cue sheet.

It works very well. You can tweak the route easily by moving the line around.
I had the same problem with those pedals. The "wings" would get jammed open. I contacted Crank Bros and sent them back for repair. They installed some plastic spacers free of charge and I haven't had the problem since.
Ha! That is definitely true of the northwest. When I lived in Oregon no one crossed the street until the signal told them too. It's the opposite of NYC or Philly where the only reason you wouldn't cross the street is if you are going to be run over imminently.
Specialized the Captain
I recently put on Specialized "The Captain" Control 2bliss front and rear. They were very easy to set up with Stan's tubeless using just a floor pump. So far the grip has been very good at around 22-27 psi.
They usually have a kids area with some acts, games, stuff like that, near the Art Museum. That may keep them occupied for a while. You could always come for the last hour or so of the race. It usually ends around 3:00-3:30pm.
I don't think these accusations are legitimate without any concrete evidence. I think you could probably take a video of just about any rider making an attack and find some kind of suspicious finger movement. What about a toe movement? Or maybe the motor is activated by blinking 3 times...
The Philadelphia International Championship is this Sunday, June 6. This is one of the biggest pro races in the country. Come on out to watch; it's always a good time.

I rode there on Sunday. Perfect weather but hot. There were lots of boats out on the lake, but very few hikers/bikers/equestrians on the trail. I did the 32 mile loop and was cooked at the end.
