ACC Bandit Cross August 16th
Hello folks,
I'm pleased to announce that on August 16th we'll be running Bandit Cross down at our old stomping grounds of Hobo Camp in the Bryn Mawr Meadows.
If you're not familiar, Bandit Cross is a single speed cyclocross race (though any type of bike is allowed, if you've got a single speed bring it), that is free to all. There is no entry fee, no prizes, and no bad attitudes. It's a free for all event designed to get more people in the cycling community stoked on racing cross.
After the event we will head to Fulton Brewery for the Minneapolis premier of Bandit Cross: Ruining It For Everyone and plenty of beer.
If you haven't seen the trailer, it's a 15 minute documentary produced by QBP about my little race series. The intent of which is to show people that they too can organize one of these things and do something good for their cycling community.

Hope to see you there.

The always highly watchable Sean Burns.
He's been my favorite rider to watch since his jaw dropping part in Anthem 2*, but until the above, I had no idea he had such a strong tech game.
dude's awesome.
*if you haven't seen it, you need to now

Phil Wood Prizes
These fine track hubs will likely go to the winner of the fixed gear crit. Which I'm thinking we'll probably do on Thursday instead of Friday, since I'm betting on less police presence on the streets during the week.

Drillium
In case you were wondering, these parts were mounted on a Scwhinn Paramount Tandem that looked to be from the 70's.

The Hub Mural
I was out and about yesterday and after swinging into the Hub I shot a couple of pics of their newish mural.
P.S. they had a badass yellow Terry Osell tandem that sported this Columbus decal that I'd never seen before.
was this tubing tandem specific?

sorry for the delay.
Stolen Surly Steamroller
this just came in:
I was told through a friend of mine to inform you about my bike which got stolen last night from Triple Rock Social Club (Cedar-Riverside Area). It was locked up and the cable had to of been cut. It was a maroonish-brown 59cm Surly Steamroller with gold velocity deep v's. I had just recently put on new odyssey pedals with beard straps which were white-ish yellow. It had matching gold sugino cranks as well. The color of the grip tape was cork. I had put 3 fairly distinctive stickers on the bike as well. One was orange, one was white and green, and one was a circle ying yang design. I will attach two different images of it. one is when i first got the bike and the other is a lot more recent. If there is anything you could do to help i would be so thankful.
If you see it, grab it and get at me.

Update: Pembo Found
tonight Josh's beloved dog, and Bike Jerks Wolfpack founder, Pembo went missing in Uptown around Josh's apartment near 34th and Grand. Pembo is sick and out of it he hasn't eaten in 12 hours and is grumpy and dazed, he wandered from his yard and just kept going. This is very unlike him.
My ass is stuck in Utah and unable to offer my best friend the help he needs at this time.
My ask of you: please get out there on your bikes and canvas the area and help find this pooch. Check the yard, alleys, etc, call out his name. He has a distinct high pitched bark that you can't miss. Please help in this time of need.
Earlier tonight, some dude brought Pembo home. Apparently he had passed out in the guy's yard and the guy let him in the fenced in back. He slept it off, and the guy let him out and he walked home to Josh with the man following him. I don't really have the story down as I was only able to speak to Josh for a short while. But he's safe with his owner.
Josh told me he saw a whole bunch of people slow rolling through the neighborhood on bikes. Thanks a ton to everyone who made the effort. It means a lot.

Southside Suicide
Saturday brought the 2012 rendition of Leif's summer classic, the Southside Suicide.
I was hoping to race, though due to my ongoing illness and the fact that I got rocked off my face the night before, I gave my troubled body a break and just hung out at Joshy's house which was a stop on the course.
Here are some of my favorites from an afternoon spent hanging on a stoop. You can peep the rest here.
