BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

By the way, Gooskis back room will be NO SMOKING during this event. Apparently a ton of people were calling Gooski's asking about the air quality so they decided to take this initiative on their own. Freakin sweeeeet.

Huh. I was going to bring a box of cigars and encourage people to race with them clenched in their teeth.

Really.

at least give out cigars as prizes.

is jeff going to be there? he doesn't post here so i guess i can talk all the smack i want on his slow legs.

you hear that jeff! i'm going to beat you by 2/100ths of a second this time, instead of 1/100th!

They cold still clench cigars int heir teeth - they just would ahve to be unlit.

Mick

ha! this is at gooskis? is marcus going to race?

Hope you read this 'cause I'm comin' for ya' Ian! Last time you got me by 1/10 of a second but this time I'm shaving all my body hair, wearing an aerodynamic helmet, and otherwise racing completely nude. And if that doesn't work I'm gonna' throw a stick (cleverly disquised as a cigar) in yer spokes!

Black and Gold Sprints Rock!!!

This is happening in about a week.

I can't wait! This time instead of a sweater I will probably be business casual after a meeting. I love feeling out of place!

LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUMMMMBLE!

Friday April 17, Race 2 of 3 of the 2009 Iron City Bikes / Urban Velo Black and Goldsprints series to benefit the Iron City Bikes race team. This time at Gooski’s, 3117 Brereton in Polish Hill. Open qualifying from 7 - 9:00pm, bracketing racing for the night’s winner starts after everyone has had a chance to seed into the bracket. $5.

21+. Sorry kids, we promise to have all-ages friendly races later this year.

Latest word from Gooski’s: Due to popular demand, the back room where the racing will be held will be smoke-free for the evening.

were you trying to post a picture? if you don't do it right, it makes it disappear

its true.

not to be confused with the 1968 black power gold metal in the 200m sprint. Though its just as classy!

whoa, that picture rules. i just read a book called "what's my name fool?" about resistance in american sports that talked alot abou that. they only had one set of gloves, that's why they have different fists raised. the other guy was french and wanted to stand in solidarity with them and is wearing a pin of the organization that they repped

Black and Gold Sprints tomorrow night!!

Just to remind everyone, the second installment in our three part series will be held at Gooski's in Polish Hill. Come out and race!

Also, for those of you who competed last time, this is a series and there will be a series winner. We are getting some kick ass tropheys made up along with some other prizes. If you made it anywhere in the bracket last month come out Friday and see if you can't increase your overall standings.

See you there.

ladies, come out and race!
