Thanks

just wanted to thank everyone who came out for bike bingo. everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. i'll post some pictures soon.till then, here's what i remember.
1. piet, pake frame winner
2.kendra, from michigan.
3.white cannondale guy whose name i never caught.
4.adam say, one place away from his wool jersey.
should have recorded the rest of the results, but didn't. if you placed top ten, send me an e mail letting me know where you placed.

checkpoints

so, i'm gonna' recycle some checkpoints. shouldn't be an issue since this one's gonna' be a little more random. so here goes.
B-broadway bridge
I-west park
N-observatory
G-ann arbor cyclery
O-washtenaw dairy
this should keep the course pretty tight. keep in mind that unless you're really lucky you'll end up doing each checkpoint a few times.
this is roughly how the format will go. everyone starts at the diag. from there you can go to any checkpoint you choose. you're free to do the course in any order you like. once you get to a checkpoint, a number will be drawn for that letter. this is done individually for each person, so first come first serve. your bingo card will then be stamped. move on to the next letter and so on, until you get a bingo. chances are you'll need to visit your last needed letter several times, unless you're very lucky. in that case you'll have to tag back. which means, you'll have to go to the finish line(cafe ambrosia) and get a stamp before going back to your last checkpoint. you can do this as many times as needed until your number is drawn, but you must tag back before attempting another re draw. once you have a bingo, haul ass to the finish line and see how you did.
as with regular bingo, the more cards you have the better your odds. cards will be $5 a piece. there will be an opportunity to win cards before the race. can you say FOOT DOWN?!?!?!?!

OK DUDES,LET'S ROCK THIS SUCKER!

YOUR STUFF'S ON MY COUCH!

come and get it. thanks to all the sponsors who have sent out product. even with all that stuff, there's still more to come. the prize list keeps growing. pake frame and fork, cogs, chain tensioners, bar ends, merino wool jerseys, top tube pads, baggy shorts with chamois, tons of t shirts. should be able to do prizes for top ten positions. and first place girl is getting hooked up. come get your stuff!

team ann arbor went to detroit the other night for the detroit crushin event. thanks andrew for hosting such a fun event! team a2 kinda' fell apart. with the exception of noodle. we were all suprised at how well he did in the sprints. in the end, only loosing by half a wheel length. late night, but lots of fun.
my favorite part about riding detroit late night is the traffic. or lack there of. fun night in detroit.

so, aaron told me about this race in detroit. don't know much about it, other then the obvious. being that it's events, rather then a big race, should make it pretty fun. we've got a couple cars heading over saturday night. drop me a line if you're interested in hitching a ride.
then there's the ypsi race. i believe thomas and luke are the driving forces behind it. 'bout time someone did an ypsi race. i was looking forward to this one, till i saw it was scheduled for the middle of my work day. i'll have to see what i can do about that.
couple of cool races worth checking out.

PROFILE RACING!

we can add profile racing to the list of sponsors. thanks to christian and everyone at profile for the support. profile has been the king of bmx components for as long as i can remember. now, they bring that same level of quality to the fixed world.
