Yes, I know I have to update this blog more often than every couple of months. But its just so damn hard to find the time in between beers.....
Lots of good things coming around.
- We will be setting up in Topeka, KS on December 4th to do a benefit for a bike collective out there. I should have a flier posted soon.
- We apparently are talking to the folks from Lincoln, NE about a return trip (hell yeah! if you enjoy our events this is a must go to. best racing of the year)
- and I'm setting a date sometime in January for our grand return to the Buzzard Beach.
I do have photos from the Pub N' Pedal 4, racing at the Replay Lounge, and other odds and ends. I will get those up as soon as I damn well feel like it, k?
Other news, a group of Kansas Citians are heading to the Midwest Polo Champs in Lexington, KY this weekend. Even though my desire to play polo has dwindled from slim to none this promises to be a great weekend of bike riding and trash talking.

see you all out there

Its a big weekend in the old L-town and this year its only gotten bigger.
Not only is there the actual Octoginta ride, a 40 or 80 mile ride through the beautiful northeast Kansas country side, on Sunday the 10th.
There is also a Time Trial (@7AM), Tour de County (@9:30AM), a Gravel Grinder (also @ 9:30AM), & a swap meet (@ 2PM) all on Saturday the 9th.

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.
