Thy METAL RACE Cometh! Thou Shall Bleed!

i am computer ********. go here to view new poster.

https://www.getonyourbikesandride.com...ster-final.jpg

reg: 7:30 race: 8:30 $10 to race. starts at mcgolrick park in greenpoint (nassau and monitor) in brooklyn.

Bring a Sparks to registration and shotgun it to receive manifest. This will be the most brutal race ever! You will bleed and you will be torn up by the end. Just being fast will not win this race. Only the one who is fastest AND most metal will win. Brush up on your ‘Lords of Chaos’ b*tches! This race will have a lot of bonus stuff and checkpoint challenges.

By the way, I know there's a lot of sXe metalheads out there who will want to do this race. We will find other ways to torture you. Bring your own gross beverage (ie. tomato juice or soy milk) to shotgun.

Don’t ask for checkpoint info cause I’m not saying. Open to all riders. If you want to donate or sponsor, pm me.

i have lords of chaos. i COULD read it again.

but i think the best training is drinking more and listening to slaughter of the soul a lot (...and STILL not showering). this race is gonna rule.

ReLoad April fools is on the 14th. Hope you get a good turnout with another big race in the same weekend.

Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Definitely have a Manowar checkpoint.

I don't know why I thought this was in Boston.
New York Friday and Philly Saturday is totally doable.

I don't see any time listed anywhere, but theres always the late bus and early bus. i dont think it would be any time before noon though...

Any of you NY kids need a place to sleep in Philly after the ReLoad race, PM me and I'll see what we can set up.

I have a place to stay in NY on Friday, but we should meet up for the bus ride to Philly.

if i can get a place to crash in philly overnight i might consider it. though i went to philly once, drove there for a baseball game, and got lost; i was 13 or 14 maybe, so i don't know my a*s from my elbow in that city. guess it's time to start studying all those free maps i got from AAA a few years ago.

A race about REAL METAL would start at midnight, which would also allow all us working stiffs from out of town the possibility of making it.

the first step of winning Metalrace is putting the race before your job.

and this way we can still make it to the graveyard by midnight.

It's been a hile, but the giant jewish cemetary on the F line didn't have any night guards last time I was so inclined to get ****ed up and sleep in a graveyard. That was maybe 4, 5 years back- don't know hwo it is now.

debated on making it later, but golden skeletons is right- which is more important, metal or your job? i thought so.

forgot to mention that racers should come in costume for bonus points. specifically black metal costumes with corpse paint. my friend is working on a movie documentary about the norwegian black metal scene (it will seriously blow away 'lords of chaos'). he said if i can get enough people wearing corpse paint, he will come and film it for an extra feature or something in the movie. i will be showing up dressed as nattefrost. f*ck yeah!
