Don’t forget. Tuesday night, 7 pm, fixed gear criterium race. Fixed only, no brakes, no bullhorns or forward projecting bar ends. Directions and full info here. Don’t miss, if we get a good turnout this might become a regular thing…

Last week I was approached by Hawke from Team Cross about a Fixed Gear Crit he is interested in organizing. It would be on a closed course on the southern end of 2nd St., 10 laps, approx. 20 min. race time. This would be part of their Informal Tuesday Series with road crits at 6, fixed around 7pm.

Here’s the problem – the USAC is requiring additional permits for the fixed gear portion (fucking bureaucracy) and so Hawke is understandably reluctant to spend extra time and money if only 5 people show up. I am personally really stoked on this, both to race a fixed crit and to do an event that could bridge the roadie/fixie gap. If you are interested in participating, shoot me an email (dpolks85@gmail.com) or hit the comments so I can get a good estimate of the turnout and pass that on to Hawke.

head over to Cranks505 to check it out.

Finals tonight, 8 pm. I’m offering folks one last chance to qualify for sprints. Get there at 7 for timed qualifying heats, there’s a lot of swag on the line so come flex those calves! Plus a brand new tire for longest skid, the usual 40′s of O.E., and all the standard mayhem. BIG games of footdown, too. Don’t miss this, it’s gonna be lovely tonight.

Great weekend. I have a grip of photos and video to go through, will get those up soon. Congratulations to the winners, Team 3G from Phoenix, whose grandfather/father/son trifecta was pretty much unstoppable, despite a valiant effort by Denver’s Jagwolves, who took second. Big thanks to everyone who made the drive, all our sponsors, and Bret, Jake, and Robin for their hard work in making this happen. I think I need to get a polo bike now…
