PONY UP BITCHES!(ii)

So, the winter is upon us. It's cold, it's snowy, it's slushy. Wintry mix.

Time to ride fast and party!

On January 10th the BBMA is throwing Pony Up 2, the second annual installment of our massively successful gambling alleycat. This year's event will also be a fundraiser for the 2009 NACCC. The party will get rolling around 3pm, keep your eyes out for the details on location!



The party will roll all night, so prepare yourselves! For those of you who saw the debauchery last year, expect at least the same this time around.





Thanks to our sponsors:

Open Bicycle
Trash Bags (MPLS)
Outlier
BBMA
Jacobs

Also, this will be the last race the BBMA's own Dark Angel will be rolling in for a while, make sure you try to keep his line!

SCUMBAG CUP 2007

We did give that girl the best coach available, and KP gave us the best dismount.



Sorry for the blown out audio.

More details to come, but here's a flier!

10-9 DAY

So the annually celebrated Bicycle Messenger Appreciation Day has just passed, what did you do for your favorite package courier?

NACCC 2008 CHICAGO!



So the 2008 NACCC's in Chicago have come and gone, and I'm finally sobered up enough to write a little report on the event. Augie and the ChiNACCC crew did a great job keeping us properly drunk, tired, sweaty and just overall satisfied.

After an all nighter helping Croth, Red and Lady Bird get our bikes ready for the plane, properly disguised as a trade show exhibit we all headed to the airport.



A couple hundred dollars in airport bar drinks later we boarded a plane for Chicago. Upon arriving we found ourselves in a disco wonderland called O'Hare.



Everything after I got off that plane is a bit blurry, as it should be. I know during that time I decided not to try and qualify, Croth killed it with 3rd overall, I killed many brain cells and memories, and I had a great time. There's far too much evidence of our debauchery on the internet already, so I'll hold off on some of the more illicit pictures, but here's a photo trip through our stay:


The city from 96 floors up.


Pure professional.


Chicago's architecture trumps Boston's, to say the least.


Tourists.


Making moves.


Tourists, really.


Red looking suave.


Croth should always wear skinsuits, they suit him so well.


This might be the fastest I went all weekend.


Travis holding it down.


Alex being artistic.


Red making himself comfortable.


Marco showing the rookies how it's done.


Grillmaster Chuey.


All about that guy.


Aquanetta.


Gettin' loose.


Souphorse workin' it.


Croth in the headlights.


DC's finest.


Austin + Chicago Critical Mass


That's right.


Boston reps hard.


Nap time.
