Last Bike Pub Crawl of the Summer

Ira from BeingTotallySweetInChicago is one of the hosts of Chicago's last bike pub crawl of the summer tonight, so after you get back from the last night of track racing at Northbrook you can hook up with the crew and cry into your beer about how Chicago will soon be under 10' of snow. Details here.

Messenger Prom!!

Be there! All welcome! Details here!

Thanks, Blogger!

Hey! It's 6am or something and I've been drinking all night, so I thought I'd say thanks to the poor misguided people at Blogger who made me Blogger's Blog of Note for March 3rd, 2009. I can't help but feel bad for all those non-cyclists and roadies who were thus tricked into reading this website. Please carry on with your lives as normal. There's nothing to see here. No really, that's not false depreciation, there's really nothing to see here. Oh, except for a ton of Chinese spam!

Thanks anyway, Blogger!

North American Cycle Courier Championships - Chicago - Next Week!

YES! This is SOON! Not this weekend but the weekend after that! And I will be in Chicago, and I will probably race, and I will definitely finish close to DFL if I do race! Who cares!?! Everyone should be coming to this, it's going to be a blast. Here's the word from the official site: "just to get it out there and clear up any confusion, everyone is welcome to participate in the race. Non-Messengers are encouraged to compete, and will be placed in their own category for ranking and prizes. Oh yeah. Bring a helmet and plan to wear it. You should already know this, but just in case..." Get all the details you need, register, and buy a sweet NACCCs edition Chuey brand cycling cap, over on the main NACCCs page.

So true.

There's going to be a big bike polo tournament at the NACCCs too, just in case you don't get enough excitement from all the racing and drunken shenanigans. Go here for more details and to register.

"The 4th annual Chicago Messenger Prom (brought to you by PBR, 4 Star Courier Collective, and Chrome) will be held in conjunction with the NACCC. Hell. Yes. This years Prom will be held Saturday August 30th at the Bottom Lounge - 1375 W Lake (Lake east of Ashland) from 8pm - 2 am. Free entry to registered racers, volunteers, and sponsors. Non-participants, same as always, $15 solo/$20 per couple, dress to impress. That means suits, ties, sexy dresses, bike caps and giant banana costumes."

Chicago Pegasus Pics

Aaron, Ben, and Henry wearing the new Team Pegasus track skinsuits and Tristan and Andrew wearing the new team kit at Andrew's birthday party. Haha! I love it!

Gnome Fest V

If you like to get drunk and wreck yourself on mountain bikes, then get ready for Gnome Fest V. It's not till September, but that gives you plenty of time to organize the liver transplant you'll need when it's over. No details yet, but they'll eventually be here.

St. Patrick's Day Race in Dublin.

Head over to Dublin Messengers for more details.
