Forget Your Morals Lets Find Some Morels Ride

You thought Snipe hunting was hard wait til you try and hunt the freaky fast, very clever, never wanting to be found morel mushroom!!! Ride will be April 28th to try and find these Sponge Bob Square Pants Look alike and most delicious creatures!!!

Leaving D Street at 8am, bring a bag to put your catch in (mesh bags that oranges come in work the best cause they scrape the spores off the morels to help for the next season), money, hunting pig and most importantly searching liquid of your choice. We will end with a BBQ to cook up our great game at an undisclosed location. You will receive more detailed information at D Street and there is a prize for most morels caught. Look forward to a day full of riding, hanging with friends, enjoying spring and trying to capture the most fierce and terrifying (yes they may bite) Morel. Pass on to any and all, event will be posted on facebook and PCL....Also, bring whatever bike you want to ride cause there are opportunities for riding gravel, singletrack, limestone, whatever....

Gravel ride leaving Cultiva tomorrow at 7:30 am if no rain.

weekend plans?

who's thinking long gravel rides this weekend? i am. thinking 4am sunday morn.

the park is dry, for a few hours a least.

as de-butchy calls it, the giving tree after visiting the raping trees leftovers...

yup, the park is rideable, hope your running tubeless, slime, rocking a patch kit or spare couple of tubes, your gonna need them, especially if your footprint is a big as mine, maybe my fat bike is just picking them up for everyone, had to buy two patch kits this am.

this, was priceless, car fire downtown Tuesday during lunch, flames shooting out under the car and everything, firemen went through the hood with a saws all like a hot knife through budder, then, they nuked it with the hose.

it gets the hose...

Spring, is starting to spring....

as you read this, we are probably out here trying to stay outa the wind and wearing out the dog

yesterday we fought the wind all the way to T-Rex, then it died and the temp dropped, the view was purdy sweet, what makes them sunsets so wicked awesome, pollution

hope your getting your gravel miles in, we are. just not quite with the early birds yet.

in the true fashion of KC Sprints
we got really drunk, called each other and the bar,
and decided on Feb 25th. 8pm

I am not sure, but we're probably shooting par that
this is gonna conflict with something,

or we get a shit ton more snow that weekend.
go figure.

This weekend is gonna be EPIC.

of course you all know about KC Sprints this Saturday At Duffys. I can promise a good time,

Duffy's opens at 4pm, Reg will open at 5pm, we will be there setting up and getting ready for some action so come on down, grab a beer, and get signed up.
5 bucks to enter
2 dollar call outs
read the flyer for more info

But before that, I'm sure you've all heard about the snow we're gonna be getting, a bunch of us have fat bikes, should be a good time to get out into the park with the big wheels for some trail clearing action. thinking 9am at D street to head out through the park, might as well sleep in after first friday ya know.

New Western NE Gravel Grinder -- Get Your Card In...

Odin... from the Odin's Revenge website.

Our good buddy CQ and his band of gravel lovin' hooligans are fixin' to unleash Odin's Revenge on up to 75 well-prepared riders this June 29-30. Starting and finishing in the town of Gothenburg, NE., the event will traverse approx. 180 miles of fantastically scenic western Nebraska dirt and gravel roads. Sign-up is set to begin on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14), via a TransIowa-style postcard system.

Image grabbed from CQ's blog that may or may not be part of the Odin's Revenge course...

 Full details on the race and registration process, as well as contact information for the event promoters, can be found on the Odin's Revenge website.

Another image from CQ's blog that, if I were a bettin' man, I'd bet was part of the Odin's Revenge course.

Get out and support these guys... They're famously good hosts and it's sure to be a top-notch event!

Saturday morning ride! Lots of options!

Ride leaving Cultiva at 7:30 AM with coffee and breakfast at 7. Gravel. I will not be there! I am riding laps at D street at 8 and 9 AM and plan on hitting the gravel at 10 AM from D Street. That ride will be a shorter gravel jaunt of about 50 to 60 miles.

Speaking of the Indoor Century, we need folks to ride! It's a half hour shift. Take a look at the post below for available times. Stop by, hang out, ride laps, drink coffee, eat pork and have fun!

Don't forget about the Dirty Kanza registration at 5 AM on Saturday! If you want in you better be awake and ready! It will most likely fill up fast.

This Saturday is the D street indoor century

things kick off bright and early with Cornbread and I leading it off.

30 min time slots on the figure 8. as you can see we have a few spots open for people to join us, and just for a little incentive, we'll have bacon wrapped lil smokies, and an HD Star Wars marathon going on at the same time. It's gonna take us all day to do this, so swing on over take part in the shinnanigans that transpire all day, or just sit back and watch it.

Winter is going to be taking a little vacation over the weekend, so we hope you get out and ride
( outside ) a little bit saturday

hey, when we're done, we call play pool.

who wants to help kill a bike thief?

seems like we've got ourselves a bike thief in town.

My buddy GEmo got his cross stolen football season,
Carl got his Karate Monkey stolen recently
and now a couple of dudes got their bikes stolen from behind the Valentino's on
17th and south. cut the bike lock with bolt cutters.

This bike has been reported stolen to LPD on January 6, 2012. This is
our 17 yr old’s bike, who paid for the bike, and is his only mode of
transportation.

and if your steeling bikes, your a dead man asshole.
you'd better hope the cops find you first.

The Van Dorn CX Course is Closed for the Season...

John Lefler Jr. of the Flatwater Cycling Team and I met with Dave Allder from Lincoln Parks and Rec last week, and everybody is stoked about the great participation we had during the 2011 'cross season. Thanks to all who came out and rode the Van Dorn course and participated in the Flatwater Cycling-hosted races at Van Dorn Park.

Per our agreement with Parks and Rec, I recently re-seeded portions of the park that saw significant wear during the 2011 season, and the course is now closed until training starts for next 'cross season in August. We will be developing a new course for next season and have some exciting announcements coming about the future of dirt trails in Van Dorn Park coming soon as well. So, in the meantime, if you would, please keep off the old course so that it can heal and shift your use over to established trails such as Wilderness Park, Branched Oak, or Wagontrain.

Thanks again, and see you out on the trail.

Cheers,

MG

we still need people to sign up for times, so leave a message, stop by the house, or just come for the fun and shinnannigans of it all. oh, we're also gonna do
star wars marathon at the same time...
with the new blue ray dvd's. so if you wana see star wars in HD, or ride your bike around the living room with buddies.
make time to enjoy D street on the 14th, bring some beer.

Monday ride!

Ride leaving Cultiva at 9 AM tomorrow morning. Hitting gravel to Valpo! All are welcome!
