You have my sincerest apologies if this offends you in any way. I just know a lot of people will be interested in this event. Mark your Calendars, Wednesday April 21st @ 9:30pm
The Bicycle Film Festival is coming to Boston this weekend and we are starting things off right tonight with some Bold Sprints at the Middlesex lounge starting at 7pm. I’ll be DJing for the sprints and my good friend Brek.One will be DJing afterwards.
Saturday Brunch @11am at Grand Union, followed by a casual group ride to some of Bostons best bike shops and local frame builders.
Race from the screenings organized by Croth-Jackson. More info on the race format from Croth himself:
This year the race will start nearby the Brattle Theatre after the last screenings finish, probably 11-11:30PM. Following last year’s format, riders will visit 5 Box Offices for tickets to 5 nearby Theatres, there will possibly be a Snack Bar along the way. Also like last year there just might be a couple of hills involved, so start preparing. Faster riders might finish in under 1 hour.
Race is free to anyone holding a Festival Pass (which gets you in to all the movies in the whole festival for only $22, buy online: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/88244), or $5 for anyone else.
Top male and top female finishers will each win one of two custom-built wheelsets from Open Bicycle and Superb Bicycle, along with a custom Croth•Jackson toolpouch/whiskey coozie combo. There will be lots of other prizes as well. Prizes/Awards at the afterparty at Flattop Johnnies in Kendall Square.
Check out this video which interviews 2 of my favorite Boston Custom builders. Towards the beginning of the film you see the letter E from our Superb sign being powder coated purple at Sugar coat. We also currently have 6 Igleheart track frames on the way to the shop. Should drop any day now.
I am SOOO excited for the new Tron movie. I know, its geeky but, whatever. It has basically everything I love in life in it so how could I not be stoked. Rad bikes, Neon colors, 3-D viewing, and DAFT PUNK is doing the freaking soundtrack. I don’t know how I am going to wait this long.
