We greatly enjoyed the week we had on, but unfortunately we’ve got to take another week off. In the meantime though, enjoy the mud and have a happy Halloween.

The Derby Returneth
After much ballyhoo about the weather and the unfortunate muddy tendencies of our beloved course, the Derby was back. And it was kickin.
Ladies’ Night was on, with some 20 women, and one guy who looked like a woman, enjoying the free racing. Thanks to LunaChix and Bobby’s Bikes for helping put that on. Hammerhead Bicycles had a stand, Bobby’s Bikes had a tent, Violet Crown Cycles had a tent, News 8 Austin was there, and a whole bunch of racers were there too.
All this to say, it was good to be back. And results are posted. And the overall results from our abbreviated first series have undergone a bevy of corrections. And also that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and that the Luna Chix and us recommend this site if you’re inclined to donate: www.breastcancerfund.org
Thanks for coming out. We wish you a very dry next 7 days,

Get ready, this Tuesday is looking good!
No more rain dances please. Ladies Night is going to be awesome.
The Hammerhead Bicycles Dirt Derby featuring True Fabrications is cancelled for tomorrow October 13th. Ladies Night is still on for next week weather permitting and there will be a surprise you will not want to miss.
Cross Clinic this Weekend
A heads up to anyone looking to sharpen their ‘cross skills: some friends of ours are putting on a clinic this weekend. Juicy details below.
October 6th Hammerhead Bicycles Dirt Derby Canceled
New month, same weather. Things are currently ‘squishy’ out on the course. If you were at ACL this weekend, you still don’t know what mud is. At this point, an ark made of innertubes is a possibility, and also perhaps throwing rice all over the course to soak up the moisture.
As previously, next time will be Ladies Night. As always, check the website, www.dirtderby.com, for the latest information on race details. In the meantime, click on over to our Sponsors page, dirtderby.com/sponsors for ideas on what to do with your Tuesday evening.
Awaiting our second return of 2009,

The pigs would be happy …
but we are not. It’s too muddy in the parking lot for cars and the track has not dried sufficiently.
Next week, Oct 6, will therefore be the start of Series #2 (and Ladies Night).
In case you are wondering about how/if you qualified in Series #1 for Hammerhead Bicycles 40% Off Redline Cyclocross Bike deal, here is the deal:
- In order to qualify for a 40% Redline coupon from Hammerhead, you need to race in a CX race for all 4 weeks in a 4-week Series.
- IF we have a cancelled week(s), you need to race in a CX race for 3 weeks in a shortened Series
- IF there are less than 3 weeks in a Series (like Series #1), then the 1st week of the following Series is needed to accumulate the 3 total weeks and get your Redline coupon.
So, if you raced CX in both weeks so far, then you just need to race next week to qualify. If you weren’t able to race either of the first 2 weeks, then show up next week and get started for Series #2.
Keep your fingers crossed for next week!
Keeping an eye on the weather…
The first Dirt Derby Ladies Night is tomorrow if weather holds out.
The Hammerhead Bicycles Dirt Derby featuring True Fabrication is rained out today 9-22.
See you next week to start the new four week series. The first series results will be tabulated and posted based on the two races that were not rained out.
Pretty New Flyer
Well, now that the Hammerhead Cycles Dirt Derby featuring True Fabrication is all sponsored, we’ve rolled out a new flyer with pretty new logos on it. A warm welcome to the Peddler Bike Shop as sponsor of our MTB races; check out their new location on 51st and Duval.
We’re monitoring the rain and using our (sponsorship available) C-130 Hercules to deploy anti-precipitation measures into the approaching front. If that doesn’t work, and the weather makes things unrideable, we’ll let you know, otherwise plan on the usual good time and the not-as-usual Ladies Night where ladies race for free.
