After the great succes of the Dauwtrappen  ride Skitch and I were thinking of doing a ride over the Posbank. Nice and hilley scenery and I found a perfect route we can ride before we play polo on Sunday. So who’s up for this Sunday? Or else we might have to do the ride after the ODCMC…

I know a few readers / posters on this blog often do a ride over the Posbank, so if they got a better / nicer route, feel free to say so!

EDIT:
Skitch isn’t in Arnhem this weekend, but on a skateboard trip to Belgium. Since it’s mostly his idea, it’s only fair to do the ride after the ODCMC…

The pics Pierski made, can be found here.

I know a lot of other people have been making pics as well, if you’ve uploaded them, please be so kind to share the link in the comments!
Thank you.

I must check the FiXFiXFiX flickr more often, ’cause ZLOG found this set before me…
The “almost bikeporn” girls are getting hotter than the “bikeporn” girls I must say.

Thanks everybody for showing up at the tournament! 9 teams from allover the Netherlands showed up to play a day full of polo!

• FUCCIT – Team Cinelli
• FUCCIT – Team Polotov Cocktail
• FUCCIT – Team Extra
• EHVFXD
• Team Geen Idee (Eindhoven)
• Clio Polo (Amsterdam)

The teams were divided into two groups, and they had to play against every other team in their group.

Group #1:

• FUCCIT – Team Polotov Cocktail
• FUCCIT – Team Extra
• Team Geen Idee
• Rotterdam Fixed Gear
• Clio Polo

Group #2:

• FUCCIT – Team Cinelli

The best two teams from the group stage went on to the semi-finals:
FUCCIT – Team Cinelli (#1 group 2) vs. Team Geen Idee (#2 group 1) 0-5
FUCCIT – Team Polotov Cocktail (#1 group 1) vs. EHVFXD (#2 group 1) 5-4

Losers Final:
FUCCIT – Team Cinelli vs. EHVFXD 5-1

Ott, Jur 74, Tomkov, Le Haute & Leander all didn’t do all 8 checkpoints so they didn’t finish.

Gael was first (and only) girl.

The selfportrets made at checkpoint Roos will be scanned soon and be put online as well!

Thank you ZLOG for finding another beauty at the FiXFiXFiX!
The gallery is really worth looking at!

Skitch is professionally modeling the Team Polotov Cocktail wifebeater.
We’ll be looking sharp this Sunday!

Alleycat will be sponsored by Brainwash!

Finally, the details:

Racers will meet at the Kerkplein in Arnhem around 8.30 pm for the usual chatting, shaking hands and blah di blah.
The alleycat will start at the Kerkplein at 9 pm.
As always, bring a bike, bag, pen, lock and a wallet with some money in it.
Cheating will not be possible, every checkpoint is manned and at every checkpoint you’ll get some kind of proof you’ve been there.
So it’s just hardcore racing with a lot of luck involved, ’cause every next checkpoint will be choosen by a wheel of fortune.

So be nice this month and keep your karma clean!

It will be cool if you’ld mention in the comments if you’re coming to race or not, so I can make sure there are enough manifests.
More details about the whole weekend and parties can be read in the first post.

Looks like we missed out on something very cool! Next year 1 or 2 teams from FUCCIT on the EHBPC 2010?

Here at FUCCIT we have a perfect homecourt, smooth concrete, the right size, etc.
Since FUCCIT is asked to organize the polo tournament at the ODCMC, I thought it would be nice do a “generale repetitie” the day after the Russian Rouletteycat, so people can both race and play polo. Like I said in my first post about this weekend, this will be the first (or one of the first) time for a lot of teams to play against other teams. So if you come to Arnhem the second weekend of August, you’ll still have some time to practice and make some tacticle changes to your team untill you play at the ODCMC. With this little tournament, Le Haute and MalleT also have a change to see how many teams might wanna show up at the real deal, ’cause they’ll be running the polo tournament at the ODCMC in Groningen. So if you please be so kind to mention in the comments if your team is coming on the 9th, that would be great.
I already know there’s a team coming from the AFG crew, and I guess there will be a team from the EHVFXD crew and maybe the team we FUCCIT boys already played against in Eindhoven. So Rotterdam, are you guys coming? Arnhem will be present with at least 3 teams, so bring it on!

The day will be very easy:

• (12.30 pm – Teams coming by train can be picked up by a local guiding them to the  new FUCCIT Homecourt)
• 1 pm ’till late – Depending on how many teams show up, groups will be made, or we’ll all play in one big group. Within each group, every team will play against every other team in their group. We’ll play according to the FUCCIT rules, with some changed ECMC2009 rules added: first team that scores 5 goals wins, with a maximum of 15 minutes per game. Winning teams gets 3 points, draw means each team gets 1 point, loosing gets you 0 points. If enough teams show up, the best 4 teams go on to the semi finals, the loosers of these 2 games will play the “loosers final” for places #4 & #3, but if we haven’t got enough teams, we’ll move on the the finals right away. The winners of the semi finals or the best two teams from the first group, will play the final for places #2 & #1!

Since I wanted this tournament to be free, you’ll have to bring your own beer, drinks and food. Supermarkets in Arnhem open at 4 pm on sunday, so keep that in mind… Frituurs are very near, you can choose between 4 or 5 ones within a 5 minute radius.
