KC Sprints March 30th flyer and stuff

I found the new flyer for the KC Sprints event coming up at the end of the month.
March 30th at the Buzzard Beach
Its the post Critical Mass bash

KC Sprints at Buzzard Beach March 30th

Then there is this video that has been making the rounds.
Its funny but at the same time I fear that it gives cyclists a bad name.
Granted we do it to ourselves



"Just because we both ride bikes doesn't mean we're friends" - Surly Bikes

After being distracted last week and neglecting to measure twice, cut once I got Peg Leg's new All-City Big Block completed

Peg Leg's new All-City
Not the greatest photo but you get it.

Peg Leg told me via text that he feels the All-City is "Stiffer, smoother and faster" than the steel Specialized Langster he has been riding for the last couple years.
Looks like All-City has made a new convert.

I'm lusting for several of their bikes too.
Besides the Big Block the Nature Boy & Macho Man are on my want list.
May put the Purple Hipster and the VDSSCX frames up for sale to get their All-City replacements.
We'll see what happens.

KC Sprints Home Opener 4, Saturday!!

I'm a little lagging in getting KC Sprints stuff done this year. I'm not sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with having no events before now. Well unless you count the debacle that was another attempt at having an event in Topeka.
We swear that town is cursed for us.

No worries. There is a chance to redeem ourselves this Saturday at the Buzzard Beach:

KC Sprints Home Opener 4

If you are a FaceBooker you can get all the details HERE but if you are at all familiar with how KC Sprints works (its pretty much classified as flying by the seat of our pants) you know the drill.

Tournament sign ups and Grudge Matches begin at 8 PM
Tournament racing begins at 9 PM
Tournament racers are racing for the chance to win prizes from our fabulous sponsors:
Twin Six, Surly, Eighth Inch, PBR, Urban Velo, All Hail the Black Market, Giro, Midwest Cyclery, Portland Design Works, and more!

For those of you that don't follow the KC Sprints blog, FB page or even just my stuff you may not know that this season Jones has taken upon himself, in his drunken boredom, to design our posters.
Granted the first one was more due to our "commissioned artist" taking his sweet time to get the poster ready. Jones got a bit anxious and started doodling. This was the result:

 Jones art

Realistically, considering the drunken state of the artist (or just the artist), its not too bad.
You can see the inspiration for Jones' creation in all its gruesome glory on his Flickr page.
Blah.
Pretty sure Corky will never live down being our "go to" puker at KC Sprints events.
I think she has puked at every event she has been at.

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

We love her all the same though. How can we not? She takes our slogan seriously.

See you all Saturday night. Perhaps it will be your chance to use the bucket.
