Party at Mellow Johnny’s 1/20

Please join us next Tuesday, January 20 for an end-of-season party and awards ceremony for the Dirt Derby Presented by Hammer Nutrition at Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop.
 
We will be gathering downstairs in the Speed Shop (Day 1 of the Tour Down Under will be on the big screen upstairs) at 6:00 PM. Thanks to New Belgium, we will have suds on tap, and there will be something for the kids as well.  Awards being handed out – including HEED and HammerGel, Bontrager’s new RaceXLite Shoes, Continental and Panaracer tires, accessories from Capoforma and Harlot, and drawings for Oakley sunglasses for all our Velodrome participants and the Yakima Hold Up bike rack for one of our “B” race series champions – at 7:00.  
Also, final, Final results will be posted in a few days, thanks for your patience

The end of a season, well almost

Just because it was our last race of the year didn’t mean that it was too late to mix things up a bit, or perhaps get rained on a bit. In the most interesting event of the night, Eardie Curry snapped his fork Hincapie-style in the Velodrome Chariot race. Knowing what he can do to a steerer tube, it’s best not to cross him.

Results are up, and the final standings for the second series can be found here.

We’ve got next week off, but then the week after that it’s our shindig at MJs. Prizes will be awarded, a keg might show up and you’ll be amazed at how much fun you can have below LT. The 20th, Mellow Johnny’s, in the basement, sometime ‘after work’.

We’ll see you then. It’ll be bittersweet in a sweet way.

Series Totals Forthcoming

Due to some technical whatnots, series totals should be posted tomorrow night. Plus, you’re too busy aching from the State races to worry about striving for that Dirt Derby crown just now. Tomorrow night though, you’ll be well rested and ready to hit the dirt – and the two will coincide. It’ll be cosmic.

No New Years Race, Results

Sadly, New Years shan’t be ringed in with burning thighs deep in Del Valle. We will ring in January 6th with a cross race, which goes down well with a weekend of state championships. We’ll be figuring out our own Dirt Derby Second Season Champions after next week as well, expect tabulated season standings over the weekend. Expect a sweet schwag-filled shindig on the 20th as well.

Results are posted. In something befitting of poetic finality, the last race for our season will be our first in the New Year. It’s 2009, it’s our last race, it’s a good reason to dish out all the pain you can.

Yes, we did race tonight

It was holyidaytastic. Santa was there. Well, at least what I imagine Santa would look like if he moved to Austin and took up MTBing. He’d lose some weight and shave the beard because it would get caught in twigs while tearing up the trail, but since he spends his money on bikes now, he doesn’t have the change to refit his old large clothes. That kind of Santa.

Next week will be New Yearsalicious. You can race well and really end the year right. Or you can do poorly and give yourself some motivation for the ‘oh niner.

Someone left behind a red Hind vest tonight, if that was you, please tell us.

Results have been posted. Have yourselves some merry holidays, and we’ll see you New Year’s Eve’s Eve.
