Heartbrakes Details

FROM BROCYCLE


Alright kids,

Here we are. Four days out. Things are coming together and others are falling apart. And by falling apart. We were all square on the route and all of that and then Larry starts paving downtown. Don't get me wrong, it needed to happen, and there is nothing like riding on that fresh, luxurious asphalt; it just couldn't be worse time for the race. so we will be coming up with an alternate route in the event that the roads aren't done. Nevertheless brocycle, bici, and all of the sponsors strongly urge the use of the helmet whenever you ride, but especially during the race. Who knows we could be doing a smaller scale Paris-Roubaix. Anyway come Friday night or Saturday we will post which route will go down.

Race Details:

1.) This is a team race. A team consists of two people. If you don't have anyone when you show up we will try to set you up with another 'stag' rider. The team that has both members at first Greencup wins.

2.) This is a lap race. The race will leave from Greencup, a halfway stop at Greencup, and ending at Greencup. All other stops can be hit at any order you and your teammate please.

3.) As of now, we haven't found any food sponsors for the racers when the race ends. We will try to have something set up for Saturday night. If you want to bring food or work for or own an eatery PLEASE DONATE!

4.) We do, however, have an adult beverage sponsor for racers that are old enough to partake. (sorry, we have messed up priorities)

5.) We will have waivers for each racer to sign upon embarking on the race. WE DO NOT CONDONE/ENDORSE THE BREAKING OF TRAFFIC LAWS! YOU ARE RACING AT YOUR OWN RISK! WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE USE OF A HELMET!

6.) Have fun!

all other inquiries can be directed toward the bici kids. info [at symbol] bicicoop [period] org.


Party Details:

1.) Greencup has asked us that this event not be BYOB. They have been generous enough with letting us use the space and would be glad to give you an ice cold brew after a donation.

2.) Andy's Tea Party and DJ Nastique are playing. They have been super supportive of our efforts and we love them.

3.) If you ride your bike, bring a lock. There will be alley bike parking but there will more than likely no one watching them. LOCK YOUR BIKE UP!

4.) Have fun.

that's it for now. we will let you know if there are any major changes concerning the race route.

ADDED BY ELISA: if anyone is coming in from out of town and needs a place to crash, let us know. we will find a floor/couch space for you. email us.

One week to Prom!

Hey all,
One week to go. We still need volunteers, so hit us up if you want to help out, hang out with awesome people and party for free (!).

prizes are rolling in and word is getting out. We are anticipating a great turnout and a ton of fun.

If you haven't already registered, no worries. You can do it night of. No teammate/prom date? no worries, we will set you up.

Wondering what do wear? you and me both! anything goes. Prom dresses, tuxedos, cut offs, spandex, heels or Vans...we don't care. Just get your asses out and dance and support Bici.

See you on Valentines Day! I'll be the one in the party dress...

bike love!

Fear and Loathing in Atl


(I totally stole that post name from Alan, who came in one night and said "I am calling my next blog post Fear and Loathing in Atlanta!"...thanks A)

Want to see how Alan and I spent last weekend? go here and check out the awesome photo set. (or view below, whatevs)



Just today I was thinking about how much I missed the community of last weekend. I can't wait until we have that in Birmingham. All in due time, all in due time...
