Event Recap: Night 1

So, the first event was so awesome I needed a vacation to recover.  Now that I am back from vacation, planning is underway for the next event.  And the event recap is here:

We had 31 people pay to race.  44 people raced through out the course of the night and to my knowledge everyone there had a blast.  

Special thanks to the Boulder Indoor Cycling for providing the sweet Fuji track bikes we used on the night.  Thanks to our sponsors eGo Carshare, the Track Shack and Handlebar and Grill for providing prizes.  And of course none of this would have been possible without Bike Denver.

Awesome Sprints going down tonight!

I stayed up late making sure everything is going to run silky smooth tonight.  Hopefully, it does.  It's going to be fun either way!

Handlebar is offering happy hour specials all night.  Cash prizes to the winners.  Track Shack prizes to the fastest time in the men's and women's bracket.  A raffle prize from eGo Carshare. 

Show up early to get started!  We will start qualifying as soon as people show up, so get here early to lay down some sweet times.  

All the details are here:

Time to call your CO State Representative...

...and tell them to vote yes on Senate Bill 148, which among other things establishes 3ft as a safe passing distance.

This is a really easy thing to do, it took me more time to make this post than to call my representative.  

Looking for something to do before the Awesome Sprints?

Go on the Bike Denver community ride, it finishes up at the exact location the sprints will be going down.

Some photos from the beta test...

We had some people over to make sure everything is up to snuff on Friday.  The good news: it is.  The better news: this is more fun than I even imagined.
