It's that time of year again! The planning for Cranksgiving Milwaukee is in full force. This years race will be on November 14th and start at the same location of Humboldt and Locust. For those of you who aren't aware of what Cranksgiving is here's a little info:

Cranksgiving is essentially an alley-cat race in which you will ride from checkpoint to checkpoint (grocery stores in this case) buying a non-perishable food item for the hungry. There is no entry fee however you will need around $10-$15 to buy the food items. In milwaukee we have an A class and B class so anyone can ride. If you're looking to do your first alley-cat and dont want to race against the messengers and diehard riders the B class is for you as it'll be a little shorter in distance etc. All you need is a bike, bag and a lock.

Here's a list of our sponsors so far with more on their way.

Eighth Inch Bikes • Seagull Bags • Rickshaw Bags • Alterra Coffee Roasters • VeloCult • IRO Cycles • FU˘KCity

See you on the 14th!

PS: Out of towners are more than welcome and we have more than enough floors and couches to crash on.

After Party Location TBA with DJing by The Glamour and Double Drop
