CRANKSGIVING

ohhh man. cranksgiving time again! this is by far one of my favorite races. not only is a blast to participate, it's for a good cause. so if you ever needed a good reason for jumping that light, on nov. 23 you'll have one. the look on peoples faces when a posse of helmet wearing cyclists enter a store is priceless. the biggest hold up is lines. but, if you tell people you're participating in an event to feed the needy, i bet they'll give you cuts. so looking forward to this, hope to see everyone there. thanks andy!

Unicycle Moron Crashes Hard on Deck - Watch more free videos
i saw this a while ago. it's not so much the crash that i enjoy. or the fact that he's screaming before, during, and after the crash. my favorite part is the filmers reaction.

THANK YOU

thanks to all the sponsors and everyone who came out. we had 43 riders this year. the top of sunset was also brought back this year as a checkpoint. if you're not familiar with sunset, the fact that most people walked their bikes up should give you an idea of the grade. most riders headed there first. which meant a mass group of riders. pretty cool to see so many blinkys going through the intersection at once. apparently some motorists thought so as well. there was a two car accident just past the intersection. fortunately, no one was hurt. there was also a tangle up at one of the checkpoints between two riders rushing off to the next checkpoint. still, no injuries. the only injury happened right at the finish line. as we stood outside the eight ball waiting for riders to come in, we saw a group approaching. at the same time, a jogger was about to emerge from the corner of the building. as he came out one of the guys hit him. jogger fell back, and rider face planted. another guy riding behind crashed trying to avoid the accident. there was a short panic as we tried to make sure everyone was okay. mr. face plant(sorry don't know your name) took a second to get up. but once he did, it was apparent that no major injuries had been sustained. sore shoulder and bloody lip. all in all everything went really well. photos will be posted tonight. here's your top ten.
