Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Legend of Zelda - July 15th Boston Alleycat

you've all played the legend of zelda. i bet a lot of you have beaten the game at some point. but how many of you have beaten the replay? in the replay, the land of hyrule looks the same, but everything is much more difficult to find.

http://relloms.no-ip.com/zeldaflyer.gif

i sure hope you have a good map.

one day, an evil army attacked the land of hyrule and stole the triforce of power. this army was led by ganon, the powerful prince of darkness who sought to plunge the world into fear and darkness under his rule. fearing his wicked rule princess zelda split up the triforce of wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining triforce from the clutches of the evil ganon. at the same time, she commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, impa, to secretly escape into the land and go find someone with enough courage to destroy the evil ganon. upon hearing this, ganon grew angry and imprisoned the princess. impa has finally found someone she believes up to the task of freeing the princess.

it is your mission to free princess zelda! collect the 8 pieces of the triforce of wisdom and defeat gannon in his lair atop death mountain to free her from his grasp.

the 8 pieces of the triforce are hidden in 8 different labrynths around hyrule. the locations of all 8 of these labrynths are listed on the map you will get at the race start. after collecting all of these 8 pieces, reuniting the triforce, you will be strong enough to travel to death mountain to defeat the prince of darkness, ganon.

the location of death mountain will be revealed to you at one of the 8 labrynths.

you may visit the labrynths in any order you choose, but you must go to all of them in order to be strong enough to battle gannon atop death mountain.

if you are able to defeat gannon, you can then sprint to the finish line, which will be announced online at the same time as the race start.

good luck to you, and travel safely. the princess depends on your courage!

wait you're actually coming out all the way to LA for the mother's day race?
holy ****, wow. I didn't know that the race was gonna be THAT big.

I have beaten the original zelda, both quests, too many times to count.
plus I will destroy anyone at zelda II or metroid.

never been to boston, but I can't turn this **** down.

date saved!


*shhhink!*

hmmm, I will have lived in boston for all of 15 days when this race happens.
maybe i'll come.
(would i still count as "out of town"?)

ahh, i am so on this.

how about tackling this as a bikeforums team, pooling our collective knowledge of where **** is.

I'll just get this out of the way now and tell ya'll: NONE of you are going to know where the majority, if not all of the checkpoints are without looking at a map. That's the whole point. So seriously, bring a good map. I recommend a cabby book, as they are the only thing I'm going against to make sure everything is "findable".

july 4th in nyc, the 15th in boston, maybe some dc action in between. just what i need, a vacation before my vacation.

Matt savvy and I are planning on headin up from philly for this- any couch space?

In.

if you are able to defeat gannon, you can then sprint to the finish line, which will be announced online at the same time as the race start.



I'm a bit confused. We'll need to start from home, or is there a laptop at the start, or do we need to find a free web connection, or do we need to bring a blackberry, or what?

Really fscking pissed that I can't do this race because of KoNE. It would be AWESOME if they had the Kings race in the early morning, so you could drive the 3 hours to Boston to do this, and then come back to New Haven the next day.

probably come in from chicago maybe with another person. I will need a couch as well.

I guess this would be doable, if the Hartford race started before noon and/or you could make it to New Haven by 1:30. And had a car waiting. And were HARDCORE.

anyone in need of housing please email me at: jacob(at)jacobsbicycles.com, i'll see what i can do.

Making it to New Haven (around 40 miles) in an hour-thirty would be DAMN hard, especially since I'm on a fix.

Car waiting would just be dependent on having someone in New Haven who is willing to carpool.

OF COURSE I AM HARDCORE I HAVE A TATTOO OF AN EAGLE FIGHTING A KANGAROO. Not really.

ok ok ok ok ok the Kings Of New England Alleycat Series.
Saturday's distance race starts at noon. it's 30-35 miles. you can still make it to Boston. If you do, and you bring the organizers of KONE a spokecard from Zelda, you will receive 15 extra credit points towards the overall title, which also brings with it a track frameset.
I agree, the date conflict sucks.
we had chosen these dates months ago because noone else on the east coast had anyhting planned. it just took a while to get flyer artwork done.

please please please, someone from Zelda PM me, or e-mail me at MattUva@gmail.com. there's gotta be something we can do. or, boston heads, race hartford, race boston, race new haven and get at least 15 points for boston. bring us a spokecard and get credit towards the title. new england peoples need to stick together.

p.s. i have a KONE organixers meeting monday. i will bring this up and see if we can make the time earlier. seriously, anyone who wants to race hartford, do a distance race in the am and race boston in the pm, then show up for new haven on sunday is mad hardcore, and deserves some sort of support...

Feel free to contact me through either PM, any of the emails I've listed in this thread, or put on the race website - legendofzeldarace.com, if you're so inclined. If people want to try and do some crazy scheduling thing with this stage race, I'll try and accomodate within reason.

god damn i wish i lived in boston... i'd ****in' ride the **** out of an alleycat based on the legend of zelda <3

I need to find out more about this race, some friends from RS were telling me about it. But I wasn't paying enough attention.


if anyone wants to work in like a pack of 3, let me know. We'll blast this ****.

AWESOME!!! If anybody from anywhere wants to work with me on this, we could do a carpool type deally. Drop a car off in New Haven, drive to Hartford, ride to New Haven, drive to Boston, race, drive back to Hartford to pick up car. Also, if anybody from Boston wants to be hardcore, this is how.

Freight Baggage just signed on with a bag and other goodies!

Travis is a really good guy. The bag he made for the No NOS Quartermile was awesome!

Having ridden around Boston a couple of months ago, my first thought is that I'm going to get really damn lost if I do this. The streets in that town drive me nuts. On the plus side, that means if anyone gives me a ride up from Philly, you might not have to give me a ride back.

i hope its sunny dat day ....

i hope its sunny dat day ....

good job, buddy.
I'm trying to get out to the east coast around that time, so i'm hoping to get down on this race.
do i still count as out of town?? haha.

When the race is over do we have to do it again the next day with the white sword?

As far as the Legend Of Zelda vs. Kings Of New England (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=191205) mash-up...

Saturday's distance race (KONE) is worth 50 points to everyone who enters. Bonus points will be awarded for the top 20. We will give 50 points to anyone who arrives Sunday (New Haven) with a Zelda spokecard.

Moral of the story, if you don't think you'll get into the top 20 of a road stage race, go up to Boston, save the princess, and still get your 50 points.

Revolution Bicycle Repair (http://www.revolutionbicyclerepair.com)is donating a fancy-f'in wheelset for first overall, to compliment the cash prize.

+1...I can get from my house to my work and back and that's it.

F*** yeah boston, I'll be there camera, bike and fast.

I have room at my place, if anybody needs a place to crash. PM me.

This is gonna be sweet. I just want to know what the actual battle will be. Ganon is so dead.

Hello hello... given the recent revelation in the KONE series (and my utter suck-itude at long rides + no road bike), I'll be headed up to the Zelda race. I know I can hang with t-plant, plus I need a guide. Mark me down.

just don't forget to get yer arse back down to new haven the next day. (king kog, 49.16, cranked, chrome, devil's gear, lovecraft tattoo, laekhouse... just a few of the sponsors... and trackframeset to the winner)

man, this is my birthday. if i could make it for this, that would make a really ****ing great birthday. ah, well.
