Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to everyone who helped yesterday with 1%'s Mayday Mayday race. We had 14 riders and the race went off almost flawlessly (I think we only lost two people in the riot crowds).

In total we raised £158.55 for BMEF and the London Bike Messenger Association between the race, the afterparty, and the bar proceeds. That (to paraphrase another member of the forums) is the frickin Jam.
We'll be sending out a paypal payment to BMEF for £100 later today when I work out some details and hooking up LBMA with the funds in cash sometime this week.

Massive love to the whole 1% crew especially Techone for really setting the checkpoints, Salmonchild, Momentum, Tresspasser, Fixedpip, Jacqui, Chris the courier DJ (it's how he likes to be called), Risa, Mark, Lisa, and everybody else who pitched in. Also props to Brixton Cycles, Bikefix, Condor, Edwardes, Mosquito, Witcomb and Kiwi Cycles for helping us out with prizes.

Pictures coming soon. If you have any please please send em over so I can put together an album somewhere.

Peace and Bikes,
Jack

A wee teaser of what's to come later.

Momentum

Mike's looking super chilled in the van there - I'm guessing he didn't ride home.

Big props to IOC for organising it - all good fun and a wicked way to raise some cash for the BMEF and LBMA.

Hahaha dude he puked so sweetly. Tress do you have the pictures from Risa's little camera?

am i the only one that vocalized the title of this thread in the same pattern as "hey hey! lbj! how many kids did you kill today?"

techone

Damn! Now there's internet proof that I drink too much, so it must be true...

Damn that bar to hell for making me buy 3 bottles of beer at a time!

Excellent day and good times all around! Need more pics!

that looks like it was a fun day. I spent my mayday at uni falling asleep in an econometrics lecture

Hahahaha dude I had to steal your sh*t and lock it in the back of Mark's van last night just to make sure you didn't ride it home. I don't know how you do it but it's heroic. There will be many many more pics up later this week. Here's another taster though.

Dude I saw you vom, that sh*z was sweet.

fixedpip

Huge props to IOC and Tech for throwing this thing, it was a great day even with all the old bill around making life a little tougher.

I hope Tech that you're doing better as the photos paint a sorry tale.

Sadly I have no photos to contribute, I had my hands full ensuring the racers did their callisthenics.
