2016 Calendar of Events

Image
I updated the calendar with local events in 2016.  As always, this is a heavily edited list as there are tons of other gatherings and rides that happen throughout the year.  I provide links to other sites with more comprehensive lists if you're interested in those.  First up in 2016, as always, is the I-Cycle Derby happening THIS FRIDAY, January 1st. I went for the first time last year (to watch, not ride).  I think those who ride the event on 2 wheels are crazy (and awesome) but if I owned a bike with a sidecar I would strongly consider participating.  Even if you don't participate, it's fun to watch.  Check out my photos and video from last year here . The ride starts at 10:31am at Roy's Repair and will cover about 50 miles over 3 hours (split between a morning run and an afternoon run).  It's a timed event but not a race.  Racing around on snowy/icy public roads would be stupid (but maybe a little awesome).  The winner is the rider...

Merry Belated Christmas!

When it comes to blogging, I am perpetually behind.  Merry (Belated) Christmas!!! The blog's not dead... yet.  I have a ridiculous amount of photos from 2015 that I still want to post so I suppose that's one thing a Minnesota winter is good for.  The other thing it's good for is bike building. For anyone reading this, get to work on your winter projects because I want to see some mind-blowing stuff in 2016.  This means you Scott, Shrek, Eric, Charlie, Todd, Rachel, and everyone else busy in their garage posting progress pics on Instagram.  2015 was the year of the Sportster and 2016 is shaping up to be a repeat.  It's going to be a great year!
