NYC as far as i know unless theirs an april fools race in both cities

Awesome! Are you planning to make more Tshirts for the race this year? Maybe I can sell another one for $67 just like the shirt from 04. bahahaha. I think this is probably the best race you guys put on... followed closely by the PBR 6 Pack Race. I cant wait until April 1st.

well it does say it on the flyer:

my first race was the 12 monkey race and now i am hooked. this date cant come soon enough

yup it 's like a week and some days away..

oh dailey- i thought jon yates was going to hunt you down for money you owed him. (-jamie from WI)

MaxKnee, did I ride with you? Hulkamania tshirt. I was the dude that got a flat.

yeah that was me. you going to be here for that?

Awesome, Yeah I think I'm coming down for this. Depends on if there's a New York Race. It was fun riding with you man. If I come down I'll holler at you.

chad and i will be there celebrating our two years together!

Assuming my child isn't born the day of, I'll be there. Unless my wife needs me to stay home to breast feed for her...

I will be coming back early from vacation so I don't miss this. Should be fun.

most likely doing a checkpoint at this. see you all there..

I think I might make this my first race... WHat have these been like in the past?

I don't know but the reload website makes it sound like a good first race. Talked to at least one of my buddies that will do it with me. So o**** me in

And if you're looking for something to do the night before, check out Portland Bike-Thrashers BLOOD OF CHRISTIAN CHILDREN!!! playing with ANOTHER OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM, AGHAST, and TRADITION DIES HERE.

of course the venue hasn't been announced yet, so I'll have to keep you posted...

UP THE BIKE PUNX!!!

i made my alleycat debut at the 12 monkeys race.
i heard this is completely different. and more fun, aside from beer?

it is a scavenger type race. The manifest is usually 3 pages long with a point system for stuff. Also some of the checkpoints are april fools. So, if you show up to one and you fine nothing. You got april fooled. The checkpoints are scattered all over the city. I remember last year going to 8 and allegheny and then doing a far west one at the fire hosue bike shop (50th and baltimore). **** is a good time. Come see me and my dog work a checkpoint..

college open house or april fools race?? tough decision

be a drop out and hang out with the rest of us..

also this is what roland burns (r.e.load part owner) wrote about this years race:

it's time again...our yearly april fool's race/fun ride is coming up. we've got tons of sponsors, lots of beer, and we usually get upwards of 150 people in on it. guaranteed fun! you don't have to be a messenger to be in this; it's scavenger hunt-style with loads of wacky checkpoints (some fake "fool" checkpoints too). For a measly $5 you get a limited edition race tee, a spoke card, race and after party entry.

Hey.. if any of you out-of-towners needs a place to stay, I will once again offer up my spare room/couch. PM if needed.

Likewise. But no pansy ass beds here. Just couch and floor space.

Looks like its supposed to be almost 70 degrees saturday... though there is a chance of rain. Lets cross our fingers!

i'll be there. looks like fun...

Well, I'm officially being induced into fatherhood on sat, so I won't be there. Sadly. It looks like its going to be a perfect day for a race too.

congratulations....

on another note, I proved that as far as my person is concerned, riding with a dysfunctional brake while talking on a cellphone and having no intention to stop at a stop sign can put your physical ability to participate in jeopardy. I'll be fine, me-1 darwin-0 (so far) *yes i realize how dumb this was* *no I know should not have needed this lesson*

top. **** is in two days...

I need to get back on the bike one of these days... I seem to be out of town for this race the last couple of years :(

just do it..

Tomorrow. Someone stop by the hospital and let me know how its going. Just kidding. Don't do that.

dude, you're giving away the fake checkpoints... but wait, is it a c-section? otherwise i mean how do you know tomorrow is the day? I mean biking around the city you could be there pretty quickly when labor starts... but i guess you have your priorities straight

Induction. And how could I pass up the opportunity to have an April Fools baby.

If the maternity ward was a fake checkpoint, you'd probably get a punch in the face from a woman in labor.

haha. I am telling roland to put that as a checkpoint. anyway. this is tomorrow. come out. I will be at a checkpoint. look for a dude with a small dog in his bag riding a marinoni track bike. Don't know where I will be but I know I will be drunk with my dog..

are you sure its not a macaroni track bike?

What is going to happen if it rains? This isnt going to stop us is it?

I'll still be there. they are saying that by 3 it should stop ..

This should be fun.

yo it's nice out...

yo it's nice out...
totally

now it's raining. so whats the deal?

weather.com says 2 pm scattered storms, 3 pm cloudy (but no rain), so it shouldn't be rainning that much longer
