Chrome "Turd for Gold" Contest

Last year's Turd for Gold was insane. 4 trucks full of shoe boxes rolled to Chrome for the smelliest drop off this side of Missippi. And now they wanna fuck us all up and do it again. "It's back! Starting tomorrow for 4 days only, we're giving away a pair of shoes every hour (8am to 6pm PST). Send us a picture of your beat up shoes, tag us and at the end of every hour, we'll pick the biggest turd and exchange it for a little gold" That's right. Hit up their Facebook with your pictures, tag them in, and wait. I got my Kursks that are jibber jabbering right now that needs their photos taken...

SF Greenseries : Tic Tac Toe Alleycat

I've lived here since 2008, attended countless alleycats, but I've never thrown one myself. After a blunt and a brew with SF Greenseries, I knew it was about time. Tic Tac Toe is going to be a fun one. Not really about the fastest, but the smartest. Get 3 in a row to win.

April 27, Friday (Yes, before Redbull Ride+Style)

Lots of prizes for everyone else!

Red Bull Ride + Style SF 2012

RED BULL RIDE + STYLE RETURNS TO SAN FRANCISCO
Event to Once Again Combine Fixed Gear Biking and Urban Contemporary Art

On April 28, San Francisco’s Justin Herman Plaza will once again serve as the setting for the collision of fixed gear biking and urban contemporary art known as Red Bull Ride + Style. After a highly successful inaugural kickoff in 2011, the event returns even bigger and better for 2012.

Red Bull Ride + Style features fixed gear riders facing off in both track and freestyle competitions, with the obstacles designed and decorated by local San Francisco artists. In 2011 the event brought together more than 50 riders from both coasts, including riders from fixed gear meccas San Francisco, Portland, New York, and even Japan.

The 2011 top ten finalists in both categories will be automatically invited back to this year’s event. While the remaining spots in freestyle will be invite-only, the race portion of the event will consist of a qualifying round the night before the main event. This will serve as an open invitation to all hopefuls to lay down their best time in order to qualify for the big show in Justin Herman Plaza on April 28.

This year’s racetrack is being designed with input from selected participants from the 2011 Red Bull Ride + Style event. Details will be released on the new track and freestyle course prior to the event, so riders can prepare themselves properly for the demands of event day. Another update with the full list of invited freestyle athletes and more information about the event will be released shortly.

Connecting The City SF

Connecting The City is a project that wants to add 100 miles of bike friendly paths in SF. They also want 3 solid routes that connect East to West that will take cyclist pass museums, parks,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif and shops. This city isn't big; with a 7 mile radius, we should be able to know a lot about it, but there's so much to see every time and I have a feeling that this will help personalize us a lot more.
