Going to be in Chicago this coming weekend with my crew!!

We are hosting two days of racing at Northbrook Velodrome. Looking at 11am until 5pm for both Saturday and Sunday. I am working today to get final GO on the track scedule.

This is a free event open to all City Bikers, if you are a Messenger take a crack at some plane tickets to Sydney, Australia for the 14th Annual Cycle Messenger World Championships http://sydbma.org/

City Bikers come on out and mix it up, there are prizes for you too!!

Also, Saturday nite will be a street ride benefitting old school Chicago Messenger and furiously fast fixer, BOBCAT. He is on the mend after a bad fall so please come out and make a donation/show your support.

The benefit ride will end up at Heaven Gallery. Gold Sprints, Beer, and it's also Felipe's birthday! We will have a cake, bring a present for the King!

Will get the schedule on the event site ASAP (these computer things are not so easy to operate!?)

For you competitive types, we will be doing flying 200meters and matched sprints after warmup on Saturday.
Also events like Miss and out, Snowball, Keirin, Pursuits, Team events, and we are open to any (sane)requests.

Check the LA results here:

If you have yet to ride on the track, you are very welcome. Our coach will be there along with a bunch of friendly and helpful people.

Hope to See You there
