Memphis Bicycle Film Festival

So far, there are 3 of us heading to Memphis for the Bicycle Film Festival. Are you going?

This Blog

So this blog has fallen by the wayside these last few weeks because my other blog (brbikepolo.blogspot.com) has been taking up all my time. In case you follow this blog and not the other, we are doing a series of races here in Baton Rouge on each of the first four Fridays. There is a points system, and whoever has the highest total points wins prizes. There are also prizes for each individual stage winner, as well as fun categories like Fixied Gear Rider, Lady Rider, Out Of Towner, etc etc etc.

We have some really nice sponsors for that too, so you should check it out.

In other news:

BRASS has several events coming up.

At every Sunday In The Park event at Lafayette Park in downtown Baton Rouge, Brass will have a bicycle corral. This is a manned location where you can leave your bike while you go enjoy the festivities. There will also be bicycle corrals at several other festivals in the downtown area.

BRASS also has VELO rides. These have been wildly successful in the past, and are back with a vengeance. Unfortunately, I forgot to post this info before the first one occurred, so you missed the first one. But, the second one, Velo des Oiseaux is Sunday May 17, and celebrates Baton Rouge's bird population. The third, Velo Feliciana actually occurs in St. Francisville area, celebrating the beautiful country that is West Feliciana Parish.

Weeber Wednesday 4/8/2009

In a rare turn of events, I was not in Hammond for this week's Weeber Wednesday ride.
These guys ride faster than my 46/16 fixie can handle. I was spinning for most of the route...
Makes me wish I was running a 51/16 or so, because then I could keep up!

The above link will take you to the route we rode last night. almost 19 miles!!!

The crazy diagonal lines thru downtown are all the little alleyways and parking lots we rode thru... I don't remember where exactly they all were, but we did ride thru a bunch of them!!

Weeber Wednesday ride meets at 7:15 at City Park, rolls around 7:30 or 7:45. It is a fast ride, typically 17+ mph. Come on out all you roadies!!! :-)
