2010 GoldSprints World Championships Racing to Glory During Interbike Tradeshow
WestCoast GoldSprints and OpenSprints unite to showcase best of
international roller racing talent

San Francisco, CA – WestCoast GoldSprints, the premiere event
organizer dedicated to roller racing, has announced it will host the
2010 GoldSprints World Championships this year in Las Vegas,
coinciding with Interbike and in partnership with OpenSprints, the
electronic timing solutions provider for roller racing, Kreitler
Rollers and Marin Bikes.

Taking place on September 23, 2010 at 8pm at Las Palmas Mexican Grill
(953 East Sahara Avenue) in Last Vegas, the 2010 GoldSprints World
Championships will offer racers in both men’s and women’s divisions
$10,000 in cash and prizes. GoldSprints roller racing pits
recreational riders, professional cyclists and industry fans against
each other as they aim to complete the fastest 500 and 1,000-meter
sprints on track bikes affixed to rollers.

The 2010 GoldSprints World Championships will see the best GoldSprints
racers from around the world converge to battle for supremacy.
Qualifying rounds, hosted by WestCoast GoldSprints as well as
OpenSprints organizers on local levels, start August 1st across cities
worldwide and culminate at the 2010 World Championships in Las Vegas.
Wild Card entries will be open to Interbike tradeshow attendees and
the general public, with wild card qualifying rounds taking place at
Kreitler Rollers’ Interbike booth #4381 on September 22 and 23.

“Last year’s GoldSprints event at Interbike was a screaming success
because attendees were so stoked on the Kreiter Cup,” said Murphy
Mack, who founded WestCoast GoldSprints in 2006. “This year we’re
taking roller racing to the next level, with preliminary races held in
partnership with OpenSprints and evening entertainment from H.R.
Muff’N Stuff and the Pedal Panties Girls. We’re looking forward to the
no-holds barred, sweat-inducing, crowd-rousing battle of the first

New Stickers ordered....

Got a good kick out of the idea at the bar on Saturday night and placed the order this morning. Only after I placed the order did I try and Google "PEDALPHILE" and see that my drunken bar idea was something other drunks had already thought of at other bars. Ah well, we still have 500 stickers a coming towards KC in the next couple of weeks. Should be fun passing those out......

Also, if anyone is interested, Zeke has returned from the RAGBRAI and posted his photos. You can view all of them HERE.

Lastly, since this is the KC Sprints blog I think I should mention that we will be setting up at the 816 Collective's Benefit party on Sunday, August 22nd. This is the Collective's yearly fund drive at Californo's in Westport. They are planning on a carnival type event and we will be putting BMX bikes on the rollers for the little kids to race. Once I get a flier I'll post it up.

Ride to Lawrence 6-19-10

To many people the 60 mile trek to Lawrence wouldn't be that big of a deal, but to two people who hardly ever break the 30 mile marker, it's damn near winning the war on drugs. I rode the trusty SS Cross Check while Woody set out on a brakeless fixie with slick tires and 30lbs of crap in his shoulder bag. One thunderstorm, 3 detours, 9 miles of gravel road, and a whole bottle of sunscreen later we reach Lawrence to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Here's some damn photos.....

and Woods wrecked a few times along the way. Can you find the Fuck You Cupcake? Very fun trip and would like to do it again here soon. Let me know if you're interested in coming: kcsprints@gmail.com

You drive a Smart Car, here's a sticker........

Friday began with the usual....

And then ended with the usual.....

But in between those points a group of us managed to get some riding in. I started the week off with 250 "I (heart) Oil Spills" stickers, 4 days later they are all spent. We rode a relatively short path from Westport to the River Market with major stops at every gas station, house party, bar district, and large vehicle along the way...

Good times good times. You can find all of my photos from the weekend here

Saturday was also interesting. I just so happened along on my way to an afternoon kegger with the HellKat Hustle folks....

 when I stumbled across the first every National Smart Car rally. Apparently people who drive Smart Cars don't understand the tongue in cheek aspect of receiving an "I (heart) Oil Spills" sticker from a guy riding a bicycle. I turned out to be the most hated person there...

Ah well.

I've ordered 500 more stickers and will pass them out to you fine folks as soon as they arrive.

This upcoming Saturday we're riding to Lawrence for a night of frivolity. Anyone who would care to join can meet at my house (3619 Walnut, KCMO 64111) at 10am. Hope to see you all out.

Stickers are here....

I'll be dropping some off at bike shops this weekend.

Also, if anybody is down for a parking lot booze cruise tomorrow night let me know. Plan on a bag full of beer and a slow lazy jont around KC drinking said beer. Lets make it cheap and fun, a lot like Zeke's love life. (Plus we can lay down a path of sticker destruction along the way)

7pm-ish @ Broadway Cafe
Ride til beers gone or the liquor stores close
Hope to sees ya there

How mad are you?

Stickers are being made and once they're here will do a bit of riding posting these up on some local gas stations in the Kansas City area. If you would like the file to make your own I can send you all the information from where I had them made, just contact me at kcsprints@gmail.com.
