RECON RIDE!!!!

Kiryoku Recon Ride!!!!!

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

Meet:

The Bicycle Garage

5006 Mowry Ave.

Fremont CA 94538

Meet @ 7pm. Ride leaves at 7:30pm!

In order for our racers to get familiar with Fremont and the surrounding area, I will be hosting a group ride to allow riders a "sneak peak" at the area to be covered. I will not reveal any checkpoints, but we will be riding in CLOSE proximity to most of them. Any person wishing to do well in this race should involve themselves in this. Who doesn't need an excuse to ride????

This race is a week away! JAPAN FOREVER!

Hint!!!!!

I'm pretty sure people wouldn't want to go read on a weekend...or would they???

Dropping hints!

Hint #2...3...4...

Checkpoints will involve Fremont Fixed past rides...

We've had some good rides in the past. Bringing them back! For those non-local, look at a oval around Fremont. We usually did loops around the perimeter!

For those who don't know, Get to know Fremont as best as possible. The checkpoint spread does not only include Fremont...prepare to leave!

There was a checkpoint last year that had people very troubled. Get to know that area as best as possible. This area of Fremont is often overlooked...northern side

Good luck riders! The race is less than 2 weeks away! I have some fun plans for this!

Hints and Raffle Pricing

The race is coming up soon! I have had many people ask me questions as to where the race covers, how long it will be, etc etc...

I plan on dropping subtle hints for this race. Figure them out and they will serve you well.

Here's the first hint: Area covers Craigslist?

Raffle Pricing-

Here's how the entry and raffle pricing will go:

Entry-$5

Entry+raffle ticket-$10

Each additional raffle ticket is $2

Spectators are also welcome to buy raffle tickets at $5 for the first ticket and $2 for each additional ticket.

Racers that complete the race will receive an additional ticket!

The raffle tickets are for some prizes that I have set aside. Get excited!

Fremont Group Ride

A few of us decided to go for a group ride last night while waiting to see if it was going to rain or not. We ended up riding through Fremont with some decently good pacing. IDEA...

I will be running a group RECON ride to allow riders to get to know Fremont better. Keep checking back as I will be updating this with a date sometime in the next week. Anyone is welcome and is encouraged to come to get to know the area better. Come out!

IMinusD!!!!!

We are so lucky to have IMinusD as one of our event sponsors. Based out of San Jose, IMD was created by local riders, for riders. They cater to all aspects of fixed gear with such a wide variety of products, complete bicycles, and a legit repair area dedicated to making your bike run as smoothly as possible. I can say again that we are lucky to have such a great sponsor. I was very much inspired to see how much money they raised for Japan relief, great effort guys. If you're in the San Jose area, definitely check them out. They have much to offer. Look them up at IMinusD.com!!!

Also check out their red printed shirts! Every red t-shirt purchased will have proceeds going to Japan relief!

We have Chrome as a sponsor! They have been long known for making cycling bags, backpacks, shoes, apparel, and accessaries that are made to withstand the harshest weather conditions nature has to offer.
