After the fun had gone down and everyone had a bit of a chill, we then headed back to The Pilgrim for the after party.


Thank you again for everyone who came out for the days events and also to our proud sponsors who took faith in us to put on a good show. Also to Chicken and Kent for the tunnel footage/edit and their partaking in the days planning.

Saw this over on the Macaframa blog and thought I'd share the impossibilities of what is happening over in LA.

TEST RUN UPDATE!

As you all know a handful of us tried the tunnel out last Sunday.
it was brilliant!
Gladly everyone came out the other end albeit knackered.
Its a gnarly ride fast on the entry and a massive slog uphill for what feels like forever.
We're going straight through Queensway to the roundabout, if people are thinking of seeing us there.
The rest of the day was really cool too so we're going to just have the same again.
We can sort that Sunday, but mostly tricks on the pier head and bevvies galore. but with the added bonus of sweeeet prizes!
(Thanks in advance to GBH, NOTE, BICYCLE BOUTIQUE AND LOST ART.)

First Ride It of 2009!

Copyright - Adam Russ http://www.flickr.com/pixel_fiddler

Firstly, we'd like thank everyone who came out to bear two flat tyres and a bit of rain. The ride, which was a bit of a city run, ran through spinningfields, deansgate and a nice little car park near the edge of Salford, finally ending at Common bar in the northern quarter. Secondly, during the ride and at the bar, a few ideas were thrown around about a day during the week where a few of us would meet on the purpose of practicing tricks. A date will be sorted for the first one of hopefully many trick days.

To end this post, I'd like to say that plans are in full motion for the TUNNEL OF DOOM liverpool alleycat and a practise run will be on the 18th Jan. We'll be meeting at piccadilly station in manchester around mid day and getting the train to liverpool for about 1-2pm. Hopefully everyone can come along and trying out the tunnel for themselves before the race.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In the ride it 2009 post (2 down) there is a typo!

All the best for 2009 people!
