Sounds amusing. When I think events that take place on public land or open roads are a bit pricey I just tag along. On sportives all you need to do is note the number of the guy that finishes behind you to see how you did. You could use a stopwatch on the bars for this Kona thing.
Sometimes it's great not having a race number. Some idiot in a team car kept cutting up riders so when he got close to me I took out my irritation on the bodywork. No race number, no way of knowing who I was.
