Wish we could be there in time…
“It’s coming…
The best South by Southwest race ever! The thrill of competition, dope-ass prizes, a kickin’ after-party with live music, amazing side events, and TONS of gorgeous bike lads and lasses- oooh, and let’s not forget the river of free booze!
This race is going down on March 14th, the first weekend of SXSW, and the first day of Daylight Savings Time. Come revel in the first day of extra sun goodness by racing your heart out. The race itself is roughly a 13-mile sprint from Howard Ln. to Auditorium Shores. No checkpoints, no frills- just pumping those legs as fast as you can all the way to the river. Once you hit the Triangle, take either Lamar or Guadalupe- the choice is yours!
Once you’ve reached the finish, you will be rewarded with free race t-shirts and some lovely- non-alcoholic- beverages. From there we cruise over to Uncle Billy’s for the real refreshments, tunes, and the awards (as well as the chance to mingle with lovely, sweaty biker bodies). The after-party is open to racers, people only competing in side events, and everybody else you can drag along. Uncle Billy’s BRAND NEW PARKING GARAGE is going to be the site of the side events which includes, but is not limited to:
Trackstand Twister
Quick-Stop Skip Comp…
…and do I hear a whisper on the wind? Big Wheel Races!
SXSW music doesn’t start until March 16th, so if you are going to be in town before that and you want some fun then check this shit out! It’s going to be epic and a great way to spend a Sunday night.
The prizes are going to be awesome… the full list of sponsors is still growing, but here’s what I can disclose:
Fast Folks
The Dropout
Eureka Designs
Flashbak
Fabric Horse
Bird’s Barbershop
Uncle Billy’s
Spokiz
Psychlist
Limit 66
Under the Weather
…and obviously, more to come. The prize categories are: grand prize, runner-up geared and fixed, womens’, out-of-towner, newbie racer, and DFL.
So mark it on your calenders, put it on your Blackberries and IPhones, you don’t want to miss this race!
