Cycle Jerks

Come out to Old Curtis St. (corner of 21st St. and Curtis) for a benefit show for Eric “Erk” Epling’s accumulating hospital bills. The door is a minimum $5 donation, all of which will go to Eric. The eclectic line up for the night is Sleeper Horse, The Legendary River Drifters, and Wetlands. Show starts at 8:30, come show your support, whether you know him or not it’s going to be a rad show! I hear Loops is ending their ride there, too.

This is Eric.

Diego didn’t think we could do it but we fucking did. We’re beat. Thank you everyone for having a blast. We had 22 teams, 18 of which finished.
April has photos up on her Flickr, you can find Saturday night’s here and Sunday here. Photos from Bart are here. Michelle Parise has given us a few photos (here’s a teaser) which you can find here.

Team Merkin

We got everyone drunk

Team Zissou

Jen and Juice thank you!

Big thanks to 3 Kings Tavern (60 S. Broadway) yesterday for hosting our awards bash. They cut us a big deal to let all of you drink for free yesterday so go back and support them. Really good people there. Big thanks to Jeff and our bartenders Emily, Michelle and Kitty for dealing with me asking for favors all day and serving up drinks to all of our drunk racers, you rule.

If anyone has photos of this weekend please email them to me at Jen[at]milehighmess[dot]com I’d love to see peoples haggard drunk/bum/white hat/Cycle Jerks Special photos!

We also want your stories! Weather it’s three lines or three paragraphs send them! Everyone has a crazy story of what when off… Jamie was forcefully escorted out of Kinkos for xeroxing her boob, Trent punched a guy, Nicole was accused of a purse snatching, Lou streaked, Ric passed out in a keg stand and puked on himself, I mean c’mon, I know you got something!
Email them to me at Jen[at]milehighmess[dot]com

Good job everyone! You kicked ass. Look back, we’ll have more shit up here soon.

Meet at Larimer Lounge (2721 Larimer) at 6pm tonight for a short but sour sprint around the city (shouldn’t take longer than a half hour). We’re giving away prizes to top 3, first girl and first out of town! First place gets a custom Seagull Bag made just for Foreplay for you, you little winner. Free Pabst Blue Ribbon for racers while it lasts.

If you don’t have a team Foreplay is the perfect place for you, show up and meet some people to ride with at Gang Bang. With happy hour specials like $6 pitchers and cheap as fuck shots you have no excuse. Show up early, it ends at 8pm.

If you’re just there for the show it’s $6 and the bands start at 8pm: Workhorse, Hexen, Bosnia, Steel Blades of Vengeance and Smaug.

Michelle Parise will be taking photos prom style on the patio all night so look haggard!
