This Sunday there’s the Airborne Memorial Ride starting from Oosterbeek (next to Arnhem). I’m thinking about riding the 80km. Does anybody feel like joining me? On their website you can’t find the prices, so I gave them a call. For the 80km, it’s gonna cost you 6 euros if you want a medal, and 4 euros if you don’t.
You do have to wear a helmet though!
Come on and join me!

Thanks to Carlos!

Hey everyone. I messed up the date, next saturday is August 21st of course, not September. So yeah, we’re organizing an alleycat next saturday with Mike from Mash. None other than Stefan Vis is setting the course. We’re starting at the shop around three ‘o clock. Come and race, there will be cool prizes from Cinelli and Mash. Tell your friends!

It’s a shame only 6 people showed up for the Diry Thirty Alleycat, but we still had a lot of fun.
The results:
Mark Saturday, August 7th in your agenda! That Friday, I’ll be turning 30, and just like last year, I’ll organize an alleycat. Details after the read more thingie.
We’ll meet at the Ghetto Keirin Track (that’s a 1 minute ride from Arnhem trainstation and it’s right next to the Arnhem’s biggest parking lot) around 1pm-ish. The race will start 2pm sharp.
Due to the concept of the race, it’s really important you’ll bring:
The weather forecast is supposed to be not so nice as I wished…
20 °C and chances of rain isn’t the ideal swimming weather. The race is still on though!
After the race we’ll chill in Sonsbeek park, which is home to the Sonsbeek Theater Avenue. This means food, drinks, theater and nice people in the whole park. So even if you’re not racing, chilling at the finish is fun too!
I talked to the guys from Fixed Gear Antwerp about going to visit them in the last weekend of August (Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th).
On Saturday they have the Don’t Get Lost in the Back Streets! alleycat, and on Sunday they want to do a polo session on their new court.
Sounds like a plan to me! So who’s up for that?
Depending on how many people want to join me / us, we might get a van, or go by train. And we can try to husttle a camping, hostel or couches to crash on…
Every month they got a critical mass in Antwerp! It might be interesting to join them, we could contact the Fixed Gear Antwerp guys so we can chill with them too. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Since the August Critical Mass is on Friday the 27th and the Don’t Get Lost in the Back Streets Alleycat is on the 28th. We might book a cheap hostel or try to crash on people’s couches…
The nice guys from Fixed Gear Antwerp are organizing an alleycat, with a very nice flyer! This is what they say about it:
Time to unpack and mount that fiftytwo-toothed cog and speed your way to Antwerp. On the 28th of August we’re organizing the allready infamous Don’t Get Lost in the Back Streets alleycat/messenger race.
Are you still the Pizza Delivery Boy-master? Did you earn your shotgun(s) by irresponsibly taking over the wheel from a cab in GTA? Then you’re the right (wo)man for the job! In fact, we’ll spread a few packages over the city. Up to you to pick ‘em up and deliver them to their next destination. Pretty easy, right? It’s gonna be fast, it’s gonna be fearsome but it’s sure gonna be frekkin’ fun. But look out for alley cats and fixed vixens!
You wanna join in? Mail your name, postal code and social security number to fixedgearantwerp@gmail.com. Act fast cuz we’ve only got packages for twenty roadrunners. There’s absolutely no need to start studying the city-map, we’ll try and make sure you don’t get lost in the backstreets. Oh, don’t forget to bring your backpack/messenger bag and one shiny 2 eurodollar-coin so we can stuff you with food from our bbq!
Even if you don’t feel like racing, just come and join us for fun and drinks at Bar Nadar. And flick your self-hunted marinated chicken-filet on the grill!
