Get thee to Freetown State Forest. Muddy Buddy is on! You have until next weekend to track down another person for your team.

Nothing says this is a singlespeed event, but damned if I can think of one that sounds more appropriate.

NYC | Saturday June 25 | HUNDRED WHEELS OF DEATH
12noon - 8p @ Browne & Imlay on the waterfront in Red Hook, Brooklyn

On the weekend before the final world championship race, bicycle gangs from all across america will converge on neutral turf in the neighborhood of Red Hook Brooklyn. There, in front of the cranes and shipping yards, on one of the last true pieces of nyc waterfront, they will begin to trash their homemade frankenstein bikes in a free day of bike game blitz. There will be madness, blood and insane bikes for everyone to ride, and events for the stronger and crazier of you to join. Events that will include; flaming barenuckle tallbike jousting of death, the most hellish allmighty footdown, (drunk guy favorite) the bike toss, and MANY MORE!

This totally free event with free beer provided by the Brooklyn Brewery is being organized by a union of the oldest and craziest bicycle gangs America has yet produced. Including: Black Label Bike Club, Chunk 666, The Cutthroats, and who ever else hears about it and gets their ass down to New York. Organize your own gang and bring us a challenge!

CMWC Alleycat Results?

Does anyone know if results beyond the top 3 are availabe from the Monster Track part of the Triple Threat Alleycat? Just curious to see how many were on track bikes and where I was within the track category.. I missed the official awards at Kissena on Monday. Thanks

i don't know about the further results, but even the top results are in question. the video tapes taken at at least two (and maybe three) of the checkpoints show that felipe, the announced winner, did not show up.

at the trackstar checkpoint, one was required to go into the shop, step over messenger bags lying on the floor, approach the counter, take a shot, find a condom on the floor, and go talk to brad to get a signature (they wanted to simulate a typical trackstar experience). i have seen the full videotape taken by the trackstar guys showing the whole inside of the shop, and felipe is not to be seen entering the store.

felipe's side of the story is that he came to the shop and someone outside (there was a group of people hanging out outside messsing with the alleycatters) signed his manifest. anyone who has done an alleycat will know that this could have happened. from what i understand, his manifest did indeed have a mark in the right spot, just not the mark trackstar was using. i don't know what to believe.

the checkpoint volunteer at another checkpoint (also videotaped) told me that he never saw felipe. he also claims that he told one of the organizers about it right after the race and was blown off.

the third disputed checkpoint i have no info on.

i reserve judgment on all of this --i'm just passing along the information.

well im just glad that we didnt have stuff like that at the mainrace (lots of other problems).. but it was still the strongest riders that got the credit..
that is my goal for the cmwc - to make it clear who won, and we are slowly getting there.
i think kevin chad and mark did a great job. now we need to tell all what it is they are doing.. its not as straight forward as one could assume..

we have another chance downunder.. :)

IF you are in copenhagen..

Hey cphfxt, were you the tall dane on one of ho's cargo bikes? I was doing the breakaway checkpoint, the one with the fedex box "gates".

hey luckycat -in a word yes.
good to meet you again.. im sorry if i didnt make my self clear on the level of support i was able to offer..hey we lived and somebody won..:D
