Rides and Races - Upcoming Alleycats/Races/Events

What is at 500 San Marcos St.? There is an alleycat in Fort Worth the same day with a ****ton of prizes including a new KHS Flite.

edit: I just figured out what is at that address. Why is an alleycat starting at a Scooter Store?


I did not plan it, I just found it on craigslist.

I think progress coffee shop is at that address.

and the austin one should be interesting because the traffic right now is completly insane with all the people here for SXSW, and there might also be a lolt of out of town people. I ran into some people from bloomington indiana who i gave a flyer to and they said they would come.

That's a very small sample of the cans Matt and I wrapped for last Friday's race. Wrapping them all was not fun -- but then they were drank. It's about balance.

I found one stray at the bottom of my bag on Monday. Mad props to myself for knowing what cheap beers taste like piss and which aint so bad.

This is an event that I'm organizing for the summer. Hoping to get all interested amateurs on the track! The LA and NYC dates are locked in, still waiting on confirmation for Chicago. Open to all track riders, still working on prizes for city bikers and teams.

Check out http://www.nybma.com/ for details in the upcoming weeks.

THIS FRIDAY EVENING (4-7-06) we will be having the ride for April called
"FAITH IN LOS ANGELES"

Greetings dear Brothers and Sisters,

A reading from the recently found pages of the original draft of Genesis, Appendix B:

"And on the 7th Day, God did rest, for he was tired. Should a man question as to why a God who created the entire earth and every detail of it within a week all of a sudden gets tired, that same man will enter a debate with other people that is in Appendix C.
On his day or rest, yea, God did clean his bicycle chain and yea did he apply a teflon based wax lube to his chain. And lo! Upon the streets of Los Angeles, did he ride, the wheels smoothly rolling over the potholes and rubbish laden streets."
"On the 8th Day, God did a century on his fixed gear conversion, and yea, did his buttocks burn from the pain."

Yes, friends, whether a woman or a man, God did once ride a bicycle, as written in the original, unpublished draft of the book of Genesis - and so shall we as RIDE-Arc explores the places of worship and faith in the downtown Los Angeles area... a survey of its diversity and the current movement in faith of the teaming masses looking skyward (or forward) (or downward) in search of an answer - who will win this year's American Idol?!?

FLYER: In respect to all the religions we could possibly represent, we chose not to have one flyer - instead we offer you a random flyer, out of 8. http://www.unmap.org/ridearc/april.html Hit reload to get another random flyer.

The route is being finalized over the next 24hours, however it will be no more than 19 miles, possibly shorter. We will be stopping occasionally and the pace will be comfortable for everyone riding - no race here folks, just a nice evening ride with cool people. A few uphills, nothing too crazy.

Weather: Don't worry, we've prayed and prayed REALLY HARD so Friday will be nice and clear JUST FOR US! (After the ride, the rain can resume). Bring gloves, your hands may get cold. Temperatures will be chilly.

THE MEETING PLACE FOR THIS RIDE IS AT THE SCI-ARC PARKING LOT, 9 PM - WE RIDE BY 9:30

Map: http://tinyurl.com/jv5pg

Getting to the meeting place: - No car? Take the Red or Gold Line to Union Station -> Alameda South -> Left on Traction (just after 2nd Street) -> end of the street. - Driving/carpooling there? PLENTY of parking available at the school that never sleeps.

There are no requirements of ability or skill to ride with everyone - just bring your own bike! Any bike! Road, MTB, Fixed Gear, BMX, Cruisers, Choppers, LowRiders... It is open to anyone and everyone! Bring your friends, family, significant others! A helmet is a good idea if you've got one, but it is optional and we ride safely. If you've got a light, bring it lit up - the more the better.

No rider left behind! For more information, you can e-mail us at: ridearc@gmail.com

Special thanks to Travis Tarr for the wonderful seed of an idea for this ride. Cheers!

Uh... Late notice of "tour de gainesville"

Apparently starts tomorrow at 9:00am at a house across the street from me. 63 miles. Sierra Nevada. Mtb singlespeeds. log bridges. Tempeh Chilli. 58 dudes. 2 dude-ets.

I haven't ever ridden a bike offroad ever, so come witness the destined carnage of chuck_norris eating poo.

since i know not all of you read the pirates thread...

RUM! RUM! RUM!

2nd annual DC Pirate's Rum Runners
meetup tonight, tuesday, the 11th of April, at 7pm at Sherwood, 14th & K.
the run is from capitol hill (SE) to Adams Morgan-ish (NW), each being about a 4 mile run. of course, we ride, because running is for jerks and republicrats.

Bring your friends. Prepare your liver. Last year, sideview mirrors were smashed and SUV's were spat upon. This year, sky's the limit.

I hope all of you come. It will be a blast. We're still finalizing the sponsors, so the flier looks a smidge bleak. I'll post updates as they come in.
events include:

Crit,
Road Race,
Drag Race,
Tractor Poll,
Track Stand Contest,
Skid Contest,


special prizes to worst and best bikes.

what's a tractor poll? is it a tractor pull with questions at the end?

We're hooking a fixed gear up to a weighted cart. Maybe 500 lbs? I don't even know, we still need to see what's reasonable for people to pull. So there will be some distance to pull this cart, maybe a block. Should be fun!

so it should be PULL not POLL. cool. wasn't sure if that was a typo or a new sport.

ouch, thanks for the correction! flier revision #949 underway

For the local yocals who are sooo sweet, being made of sugar, thus afraid to melt in the rain April 8th . Here's yer 2nd chance!!!
