velocity hit chicago this weekend. big thank you's to everyone and their mama who help put this together and to those who came out to play. it started off friday with a poker run. it wasn't a race...instead it was just a time limit and best hand wins. about 35 riders total but it was a group of three riders and among them one who won. don't know his name so if you read this and know who he is or you know who you are...please step forward. not only did he win but he also donated all the winnings back to the ccu...wtf?! how nice is that? the night ended early for some and later for others. i, in true form, did not attend...ha!
i did manage to get myself out of bed and make it to the track for the main event...
the day started off rainy and cloudy. by the time i got to the track there was no one there but the weather was turning in our favor. some phone calls were made and little by little we had about 25 riders total...give or take a few. they started off with warm ups followed by a very small clinic. most of the riders already had some experience on the track.
al urbanski and christina, sorry i don't know your last name, won for the messengers catagory. i believe she came by way of san francisco? andrew yeoman and val brostrom won for the non-messenger category. imo...the match sprints were the most fun to watch. the last two races in both categories were pretty close and came down to the line...
messenger...al vs perkins...
non-messenger...andrew vs stanley...
check out my set of pics here and dispatch101's very own photographer's set here...
thats right simon...you heard me. i got my own photographer...raising the game...ha!
all in all...it was a great time. thought i would make it to the saturday night relax and drink madness but didn't have it in me to get up from the couch after eating. sorry kids. im sure you guys were able to drink the beer without my assistance. thanks again to everyone who help put this together. a special thank you goes out to ben and, like most events that take place around here...augie...
keep an eye on the cuttin'crew site...im sure they'll have more specifics about the event. anyway, get ready san flan...you cats got next...peace.
