Just a little reminder about Friday's fun

Tonight I started putting together the prizes for the Men's and Women's 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places of the tournament for KC Sprints at Buzzard Beach Friday.
A little something for the best Grudge Match of the night
And we are considering a SWEET grand prize for the best overall sprint time of the night.
We've got some really good stuff.
You'll be missing out if you aren't there.

Tournament sign up and Grudge Matches start at 8 PM.
The tournament starts at 9 PM.
Tournament is $5
Grudge Matches are $2 per racer.

So go do Critical Mass at 630 then come on over to Buzzard Beach all warmed up and ready to race.
Or just to have a beer, cheer on your friends & heckle your enemies.
What ever you decide its gonna be a good night and you should be there.

See you Friday!

Who wants a drink? I do! I do!

CycleOps makes a blender?
Yes. Yes indeed they do.
Check this thing out.



Once again this season CycleOps is one of KC Sprints great sponsors.
Outside of getting us some items to use for swag and prizes (even a set of their rollers for a Grand Prize!) the local rep (Thanks Ron!) thought it would be a great idea to loan* us his new never used CycleOps Pro Series Trainer Blender.
*(Loan as in the thinks he is getting it back. Doubtful. When the snow flys I can see indoor "training" taking on a whole new dimension since I can also make tasty drinks)

For serious.

It arrived today and I set it up in my living room to check it out.
Basically it is their Pro Series Trainer modified to power a blender.
I haven't made any drinks in it yet (I'm sure I will tonight, Jones... bring ingredients over tonight!) but I don't see why it wouldn't work like a champ.
We will have this out at the KC Sprints events this year.
Hopefully any bar we are in will let use set it up and blend some of their tasty drinks for them.
Why the hell not, eh?

Lets have a drink!

KC Sprints @ The Replay Lounge for the Octoginta

Fall is in the air and its time again for the Octoginta.
