Usual details, except that registration starts at 3pm-3:30pm. I figure if we start the race at 4pm, we’ll have two hours for racing then 1.5hrs for fucking around at the bar, and then we can all wander up in formation to go watch the city spend money burning crap on the lake.

Will post updated flier soon.
Will add details as they’re announced.
I hope this videos gets you as pumped as I am.
It’s going to be a badass weekend.
Also, that’s Crihs from SixRacing that you’re following in that video.
Last night was a blast!
The route was as follows
Washington Park to Hannaford (900 Central)
Back to Washington Park to Westgate Pricechopper (911 Cental)
Back to Washington Park to Madison Ave Pricechopper
Back to Washington Park to Delaware Ave Price Chopper
…then to the bar!
It was a total of 14 Miles, which ended much faster than the other races, which personally I fell this was the most fun of any of them.
Prizes included a carbon fiber fork, loads of awesome bar tape (glow in the dark!), plenty of seats, helmet bags and the best of all Bike Art Trophies!

Race start: 9pm, Nov 17
Registration/sign-up starts 8:30pm
Washington Park: Henry Johnson Memorial (Henry Johnson & State)Cranksgiving! Finally, a charity race where ALL the $$ goes to direct action. Homeless Action Committee are the ONLY organization I see out on the streets doing work night after night, so it’s only right that they get our support. You WILL NEED a lock and a bag for this one.
It consists of getting a list of grocery items, going to the specific grocery store on the list, buying items, repeating those steps until you’re done, then donating all the food to HAC when it’s over. Everyone wins, even if you come in last place!
Ride any uni or bike or trike you like; as long as it’s got wheels and pedals and is you-powered, it’s all good. You will not be turned away for excess spandex or your lack of white belts.
Entry fee gets you a neato handmade spoke card and a shot at being the baddest ass in the Capital Region.
Pre-registration via email to soze@fork-bomb.com is encouraged for planning purposes.
Confused? Interested?
Here’s some history and background on the Cranksgiving tradition.
I hope to see all of you there!
