My friends and I are putting on a race and you all better be there! I'll put it up when the location is announced.

Lando, how about a sticky, eh?

Excuse me for being a newbie but what does velodrome style entail? Around a flat area in a circle?

It's a Points Race, but not on a curved velodrome?

VARIATIONS
The Snowball
The snowball is a variation on the points race where only the first finisher in the sprints is awarded any points. The number of points awarded increases with each sprint. The first sprint gives one point, the second gives two points, the third gives three points, etc. The sprints are also more frequent than in the normal points race, and can happen every lap or every two laps. In the case of a tie, the order of the final sprint is used to break the tie.

Point-a-Lap
The point-a-lap is - as its name would imply - a variation on the points race where a single point is awarded to the first rider to finish each lap. Typically more points are awarded on the final lap, going several riders deep.

Tempo
The tempo race is similar to the point-a-lap race except that points are awarded two deep for each lap (two points for the first rider, one point for the second).

Will there be snowballing?

Also, will I be able to get points for keeping tempo? Because I'd be willing to go two-deep if I'm getting credit for it.

Sounds fun. They were passing fliers out for this at the Race of Shame. I'm in. Especially if Scott is taking fuckers down.

I've often thought the greenlake race of champions should be run using this flavor.

I've always thought that the Greenlake Race should be a Madison, but only because I want to see two drunks on LHTs try to do the relay exchange.

We'll be explaining the exact rules we're using on the day of. But I'll tell you now that it won't be a devil takes the slowest asshole. It also won't be a snowball, that's sick. We're hoping that the endurance aspect will even the playing field.

I'll post it up here when we announce the course. But it will be up at BikeBloc.com first.

I'm also going to make a point83 specific flier. You'll like it, you'll see.

So we've finally announced the location for the race. We'll be doing the laps around Cowen Park. Registration will be at 2, we'll race at 3! A Point83 specific flier is on its way.

Alley Rally was one of the most fun races ever. Even if i did end up in a mini skirt riding around the Ave on a 20 degree night.

Yeah its you riding a donkey, it was going to be switched, but then I realized that I didn't want that kind of attention from the zoophelia community. It would really be zoophelia crossed with hentai, which one would think is a pretty small niche, but with Enumclaw being so close and all, I didn't want to chance it.

Also there is a glasses clad man with a u-lock in the background.

Dear Koos,

I had to work; I meant to go but couldn't make it nor inform Ben within time. This made me sad.

It is my understanding that your race had pictures or it didn't happen. Correct?
