6 Checkpoints this time (map is posted - http://www.aardvarkmap.net/mape/II45EKHX). 


Martin Park Shelter
King Sooper's on Table Mesa
Intersection of Toedtli and Darley
Tantra Park Playground
South Boulder Rec Center Volleyball CourtsFairview High School Football Field





You can go in any order you wish. But here's the kicker - at the Fairview football field will be 3 cinder blocks. If you are one of the first ones there and carry a cinder block with you for the duration of the race (completing all the check points) you will receive 3 mins off your time! Is it worth it? I have no idea!

All participants will receive a spoke card for entry and beer and pop are provided at the post race party and a TON of street cred! Expect much of the same as last time at the checkpoints (a drinking/eating challenge, photos to take, and tasks to complete). This should be a shorter race (7-8 miles), but with more checkpoints (and challenges). Hope you know south Boulder...

What to bring: Bike, helmet, bag, camera phone, and pen.

Race categories: Overall, Fixie, Young (under 21), Female, Amateur (non bike messenger, non Cat Pro, 1,2, or 3 cyclist), Most Aggressive (at the directors discretion), and Team (2 person and must complete all checkpoints together). Additional spoke cards for the winners of each of these categories. A small cash prize for the overall winner.

PBR Poker - Oct 10th 3pm \\ Weather Update **

Looks like the weather is gonna be less than optimal on Saturday. Dont let that discourage you, look at it as an opportunity to show off your cold weather gear and your winter riding skills. Plus theres still alot to win, even if you come in last place in the overall race.

Also weve got 6 cupcakes from TeeAndCakes for the winner.

See everyone on Saturday !

PBR Poker - Oct 10th 3pm - Checkpoint Map POSTED !!

Weve got the checkpoints finalized. And weve put them all in this cool internet thing called 'Google Maps' ! You heard of it ?

PBR Poker - Info updated

for all you google readers, and rss feeders the

PBR Poker - Info page has been updated.

PBR Poker - Oct 10th 3pm

****UPDATED - Map Posted *****

So this is how its gonna work.

5 Checkpoints. At each one you will get a PBR bottle cap. On each bottle cap is a playing card. So after the 5 checkpoints each racer will have a 5 card poker hand. Expect to have to chug 'something' at minimum 2 checkpoints.

There are benefits to being back quickly. The top racers will have an advantage, for example First Place might receive a wildcard cap, second gets an extra cap, and so on.

1st thru 3rd will also get a portion of the cash pot (20% - 10% - 5%)

the rest of the pot will goto the person with the best poker hand.

the meeting location is at the buffalo on campus next to folsom field.

follow @BAC_Races for up to date information, Direct Message if you see this and want to help sponsor the event.

Also, i will be handing out spoke cards for the below classifications where they apply.

Yellow - Fastest Overall Time
Green - Sprint Points (Checkpoints)
PolkaDot - King of the Mountains Points
White - Fastest young rider (age<20)>
BAC Stage Winner - First person @ each Checkpoint (*)

Get work off if you have to, and Bring your friends !

Thursday night Fixed Gear Ride #4

Afterwards we are all going to goto the Bicycle Film Festival at Old Main on campus. Bring 10$

Ride 8-9pm

BFF 9-11pm

Thursday night Fixed Gear Ride

Hey yall, lets start Thursday night fixed gear rides. Here's why:
1. The cruiser ride sucks/You're over it
2. The cruiser ride is for cruisers (going slow)
3. The people on the cruiser rides are either a. elitist middle aged people or b. underage kids on dept. store mountain bikes
4. Loops is fun but its a pain in the ass to go to Denver all the time
5. We can do whatever we want depending on who's there, meaning we can bomb hills if we want, stop to stunt, drink beers, socialize, we can cruise the creek path, loop downtown, whatever. If we post the route online before the ride people can meet up with us whenever.
6. We can have our own after-parties wherever we want.
7. More of a "fixed gear community" will emerge?

Comment if you're down.
-Peter

I wholeheartedly agree with everything peter has said. Lets get this party started. So tomorrow night lets all meet at Cafe Roma, gives us prime access to coffee and liquor. If we need to buy alot more beer we can goto liquor mart.

OK UPDATE 8pm at the buffalo
