This time for reals. There are some changes in stuff from last time though (smaller team size for one). I'm probably going to add some more events, I'm just mulling a few over in my brain, but if you've got suggestions post them up.
Bikelympics: run by a Chinese guy that doesn't abuse human rights. Not to mention it's totally awesome.
When
Saturday August 9th.
Registration 12pm.
Opening Ceremony: 12:45pm.
Games: 1ish
Cut Off: 6pm. If we get done before this, then we'll do awards then. I'm expecting to be done way before 6, but just in case.
Where
Brackett Park
Registration Info
- You must register in teams of two. If you can't find somebody, than we can try to hook you up.
- Pre-Registration is the bestest! Just pm/email (address in my profile) me your team's info and you can pay on race day.
- Registration fee is $5.
- When you register your team, also include what neighborhood you're representing (or city or whatever geographical term works), and if you have a team name.
Events
Alley Cat Relay
One team member goes out and fulfills part of a sequence, comes back, turns it in, and the next teammate gets the next part. shortest time wins.
Bike Carry Hoplite
Teams throw their bike on their shoulders and run a course together. Shortest time wins.
Front Wheel Discus
Each team member throws a provided wheel. Total distance determines the winner.
Sprints
Timed sprints down the Greenway. You know, like how most race dealies work.
Teams will rotate around events to minimize waiting time (i.e. while one team is doing the discus another is doing the relay and so on.)
Prizes
- Other people's $5. Mo' Teams = Mo' Money
- Medals for the top three teams
- Spokecards for all.
There is also a sexy flier, it's very similar to last year's.

THOMAS! Just the other day I noticed you hadn't posted in a while.

Hopefully.  I'm planing to add some events still, but I'm trying to find some that are pretty easy to do.

BOLLOCKS!!!
I was the only one to show last time, but I'll be in pensacola while this one is going on.
I am consoled by two facts:
1. Pensacola Crazy 8's alleycat
2. already got the bikelympics spokecard and gold medal!
looks like a super fun time... glad you rescheduled, thomas.

If you can't find a friend, show up anyway. We will hook you up!

Come taste the glory! This could be you!

Pfft, my team is going to have the coolest matching t-shirts ever. Sprints should be fun though, I think I better get a bike with gears for that.

Oh snaps! It's this weekend!
If you haven't found a teammate yet, just come anyway, we can find somebody for you. If you aren't coming yet, then you need to.
Also slapped up the flier.

Well, I intend to do it again, so there's always next time.
For the rest of you, there is this time, tomorrow even! Even if you don't have a teammate, show up! We'll find somebody for you to claim shiny glory with.
