Route map and elevation profile

This race is a primer to bigger and harder things. We’ve never organized anything in our lives, so it’s 60 mile baby steps for now. The plan is to do a dirt century race in June, a multi-day race in August, and a huge one-day race in September/October. If people actually show up for our races and want to do more, we’ll organize more.

Chris Cole Design

Wow. Chris Cole's sculptures are something else. He has an installation called "New kinetic works and paintings" at VISAGE. Check it out.

The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground

I got up early on Sunday and met Mitch at Sandbox Studios for my very 1st bike swap meet. I was super stoked. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood and the only pushing/shoving that was done was from Mitch and me when we heard about the $5 Flite saddles. No one was hurt.

Sean and his Dad in line ready to pounce.



My new ride. Fits like a glove.... a glove that fits.
Mitch takes his recumbent bike seriously. Look at his face. Serious business.

Venue for Jan. 15th's Blam at Nemo Design

fun to be had right here. they are going to clear out the parking. i think the words "sweet air" come to mind.

bike parking.
clay, single kyle, and ben. this is where the trick comp is taking place. we are going to clear everything out and incorporate the huge hallway. have have a lot of building to do. 

massive hallway for bunny hop comp? the possibilities are endless.
here is where the beer will be served. lounge area tucked in the back there.

sprints will be set up in this room. the walls are white which makes for a swell projection surface. we have a set of chub hubs going to the winner, but there is rumor of a bike to win. spin to win, folks.

the hits keep on coming
