1st outta town, suckaz!

There was an alleycat this past Saturday @ st. pete. Actually two alleycats, Nutcracker and Mircale on 34th street. The Nutcracker was the last race in the florida fixed gear series and the harshest (32 miles, carrying bricks, sprints, etc.). I opted for the Miracle on 34th street put on by The Skirts, st. pete’s all female bike club. 

I came in 6th overall and won first out of town (thanks to cory and kyle). It was a fun race, checkpoints included eating a cupcake, drinking vegan nog, and wrapping a box.  Later there was a trick and skid competition. Followed by a party at Pam’s house, where Fatal played.

This so far is the highlight of my winter break.

Zombie Bike Co-op

On May 3rd and 4th I went to Jacksonville for the grand opening of their Bike co-op. I was amazed at how huge the space was. They share a building with a record store and Burro Bags (a local shop that makes and sells messenger bags).

It was a three day event from Friday till Sunday called Bury Your Bike. The co-op was in operation two months before the grand opening.

For the first time I played bike polo and even though I was a beginner I really enjoyed myself.

I ended up twisting my chain ring, but luckily I was at the right spot at the time (a bike coop!). The person that helped me said he never saw such thing in his entire life. I was skidding on a turn and then all of a sudden it happened.

All in all I had a great time! and met some wonderful people.

……….then I had a blog

Hi,

I finally made up my mind and got a blog. Thanks to matt. My blog will consist of many random things, but with a focus on bikes.

I was the last person in the e.o. (East Orlando) area to get a fixed gear bike and now I’m the last person with a blog. Hopefully that won’t be the case for either of those things because riding a fixie is deeply satisfying and ten times better than riding a regular bike. As for having a blog, it’s important for updating the world on what’s going on through your experience.

p.s. I can now One Leg Over the Bar Skid.
