FASTen your toe straps !

We're going to start a little tradition : the second to last friday of every month we're holding sprint races. This is to complement the sprint races held in Indy the last friday of every month. In following their lead, we will have a cash prize for the first place winner. Entry will be 2 dollars and we will meet at 505 South Maple. A group ride will take us to where the sprints will be held. We'll probably get things rolling (pun totally intended) at eleven. So, come out and show off your skills !

Since We Didn't Race Both Routes ...

We're going to hold a non-sponsored race of the "easy" route ! Friday, July 10th.
Meet at Sam and Thomas' house ( 505 South Maple ) at three o' clock. It will be a cash prize race and will cost 5$ to enter. The race won't get underway right at three to give any out-of-towners heading our way a chance to relax after the car ride to BRA-town. We'll even bring some extra patches from Hell of the Midwest to sweeten the deal.

What a swell time ...

The air was hot, the sun was intense, and sweat poured out by the bucket-full. Nonetheless, it was a fun race. The results are as follows : I came in first place, Sean Wolf came in second, Thomas Fisher came in third ( after almost dying around the final switchback on the Lake Griffy hill ), Sam Jackson was the fourth place finisher, Jason Smith came in fifth place ( whilst hauling a messenger bag filled with water, tubes, tools, and -- of course -- the kitchen sink ), Dylan Morse came in sixth place, and Ben Morrow rounded it out with lucky number seventh place (missing one of the turn-offs.
Many thanks to everyone who helped and to our sponsors ! Everything came together perfectly and I don't think we could have imagined a better first race for the BRA.
Early this week we will post some photos ( we took over 1000, so it may take a while to pick through them all ) so check back in soon !

thanks again everyone and we look forward to seeing your sweaty faces for our next race -- which will be from the circle in indy to the downtown square of bloomington on Saturday, August 22nd !! Big prizes expected ... hopefully no near-death experiences this time though.

WHOA !!!!!!

Saw this over on Prolly's page. . . which solidified my already intense desire to go to NACCC's this year in Boston ! Hope to see you there !

second part ...

Here is the second route of the race. It's almost even difficulty wise as the first route, but slightly shorter. So, there ya have it ! Study them routes and we'll see you Saturday !

NOW AVAILABLE !!!

Sam just sent me a copy of the first route -- let me tell you, it will be difficult. Bring your water, your helmet, and an extra set of lungs !
The second route will be available tomorrow night or wednesday, so check back in soon.
Hope you all are as excited as we are !

sorry!!

there haven't been many posts lately. I've been riding a lot, so haven't had a lot of time in front of the computer. Thursday is another race day at Major Taylor -- I've made some adjustments to my bike as well as my training schedule, so we'll see what happens. In other news: Indy Cog and Bikesmiths have both graciously sent some gifts and promotional coverage our way. THANK YOU !!! We're getting pretty excited about the race! Hope you are too!
