I went to New Orleans this past Sunday with my friend Ben. He and I heard about some pick up bike polo games that happen every Sunday at 2pm. We drove down, headed in the general direction of where we thought the games happened (we forgot to bring the address with us) and rode our bikes the few blocks from the car to Robert's on Annunciation.

Bike Polo is the most fun I've had on a bike in years. It was competitive, fast paced, intense, and best of all, the folks who organize the games were super friendly. We literally rode up, not knowing anyone, and said Hey! We're from Baton Rouge, heard about Sunday polo and would like to join in. They briefed us on the rules, and we were in the next game. It was incredible.

So, Baton Rouge!!! Let's get some polo together. It is incredibly easy. I have all the tools we need to make our own community mallets. All we need, is enough people to chip in some money so we can purchase the materials. We could totally organize our own Sunday pick up games. Then, in the future, we could play against New Orleans! Or Pensacola! Or Portland! or Milwaukee! Or Chicago! Or Madison! Or NYC! Or Seattle! Or Vancouver! Or Calgary! Or Atlanta! Or Orlando! Or Huntsville! Seriously! Let's do this!
