Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

The Battle For I-270

This is the official decleration of war.

Issued from The Burrito Bandits to the DC Pirates.

How this will work:

We (The Burrito Bandits) will pick the location.
You (the DC Pirates) will pick the events.
Both sides will agree upon a date.

the prize? Bragging rights.

Bring it.

so let me get this straight,
we're going to have to drag our sleds to Fredneck just to show 'em how its done?
alright .. if its a beatin they want,,, a beating they'll get!

allow me to formalize some details

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
the official "deceleration" of war has been answered
===============================
!NEW! Date: Saturday - November 5th - 7pm


Possible Events:
- margarita relay
- 5point Polo
- Team crits
- Tug of war
- lock toss
- fix a flat
- straight up sprints
- mystery street challenge


here's how it works.
the two teams will send a delegation (of their choosing) to compete in each event.
each event will be held, and 1 point will be awarded to the winning team.
afterwards, the team with the most points will be declared the rightfull owners of I-270 - a title that may not be challenged until after the FG/SS Chicago Meetup

sounds fair?
of course, this is all up to negotiation.
rules for each event can be discussed later.

one things for sure.
pirates will win.
that's my word.

_tink

(now perhaps it may seem that the burrito bandits are on to something, with their meetings and all. maybe we should ask other pirates before scheduling things? just an idea. we do have a thread to discuss just such issues on...)

shut it.


hey at least we're getting the cranks moving!
you're right though, we should finalize our choice of events, and see what the bandits have to say.

they don't look so bad
