poker run checkpoints

northside presbyterian church- 1679 broadway st.

bandamer park dirt jumps- lake shore dr. off of main st.

caribou coffee- 1423 e stadium

burns park sledding hill- 1414 wells st. in park east of school

fletcher parking structure- thunderdome. lowest level of structure where polo is played in the winter months.

wurster park- madison to the north, davis to the south, 3rd to the east, and 5th to the west.

hidden commuter lot- washington to the north, liberty to the south, 3rd to the east, murray ave to the west.

finish at adams house 917 brown, near the stadium.

start at the diag. all checkpoints must be visited before a discard. once all checkpoints have been visited, go to the finish. if you chose to discard, you'll have to return to the corresponding checkpoint. discard as many times as you wish, as long as it's done within a 2 hour time limit. after that, checkpoints will not be manned. points awarded for best hand and time.

map

there is a long and short course option. long includes all seven checkpoints and the option to discard. short does not include bandamer dirt jumps or broadway hill. long course will receive points for hands and speed. a good hand is worth more then a fast time. short course riders simply draw a card at each checkpoint, best hand wins, no discard. meet in the diag at 8. see you there. feel free to print out your own map and checkpoint list. save a tree.

jens voigt crash

here it is for anyone who missed it. jens voigt went down yesterday in stage 19. there are a lot of people saying that the steer tube snapped. but i think it's clear what happened. looks like he hit an uneven patch of pavement and lost it. watch his glasses shatter as he hits the pavement. nasty crash. hopefully he heals up soon, but for now, jens is outta' the tour.

bicycle film festival in detroit

the bicycle film festival will be taking place in detroit this weekend. anyone in the area should try and make it out. if you've ever been to the BFF before you know that there are always some cool films that you won't really get a chance to see anywhere else.info
also heard that there is a race today at 3:30 starting from hart plaza. don't know any details, but, i'm sure if you're there at 3:30 you'll figure it out.

pedal poker run

so here it is. i desperately need volunteers to make this one happen. so, if you're willing to run a checkpoint, let me know. riders will run around to checkpoints around town. each checkpoint will be visited at least once. where, you'll get a card. once you have visited each one you can go to the finish. at the finish, if you want to re draw, you can leave a card and return to a previous checkpoint. you can do this as many times as you want within the allowed amount of time until you get a hand you're satisfied with.

find a bike friend

see how fast you can find a riding buddy. it'll be cool to see how this site develops. great idea.
