Sunday January 27
Start time will be around 2pm
As per usual, MDMA are doing there best to bring on a truckload of swag. (At the ACMC presentation we managed to more than fill the stage with donated gear)
Bike shops and bike brands are on board, as well as some local (non bike related) shops around the Brunswick area, all donating goods and services as prizes. (Not to mention McKenny’s $1200)
There will also be shitloads of drink prizes and meal vouchers, and if if you don’t get one of those, jugs of beer and gypsy cider are only $12! bands playing in the courtyard too
Despite being broken into and being robbed of two Cinelli’s last night… URBAN VELOCITY are supplying two bikes for the Summer.
So, massive props to Bryn for his support
yeah… unbelievable… broke in the front door. grabbed two fully kitted cinelli’s and … off they went… bastards. I hate bike thievery more than anything.
Yeah, it’s an actual store, and he’s a really nice guy too. anyone who is willing to build up a couple of bikes to be used for goldsprints at a pub is a good bloke. ha.
he’s just about to move into some more trials bikes and MTBs too.
Only a couple of days to go until the inaugral edition of Summer Sprints rolls up at The Vic, here’s how we’re gonna (attempt to) run it on Sunday.
There’ll be two kinds of racing going on, Tournament and Grudge matches. Tournament is the (semi) serious stuff. Qualifiers, heats, a ladder, working our way to the top, casting aside the sweaty bodies of those who couldn’t cut it, an epic quest to discover who truly rules the rollers round these parts.
The Tournament will feature both a ladies and a gents division, entry is $10 and you’ll be racing for the prizes supplied by our generous sponsors. If you want to race Tournament style then get down EARLY. Registration begins at 2 and once we fill up the roster we’ll start qualifiers. We estimate that the roster will take about an hour to fill.
Grudge matches are a little simpler. Just you and the opponent of your choosing up on the bikes for 400 metres of pain. Best mate? Lover? Visiting relative from foreign climes? Get them up there and see who humiliates who. Grudge matches are $5 per race, thats two fiddy per person, Bargain! Anyone can race, even if you’re not entered in the Tournament. You’ll be racing for honour, glory and maybe free beer.
We’ll be running grudge matches before, during and after the tournament. Come find us at the rego desk, pay your money and take the ride.
if you didn’t make it down for this today, you missed out.
after a few “technical issues” with one of the bikes, things got going a bit later than planned, but it was a well organised, well structured day.
i was planning on just watching after a few too many last night, but ended up registering and winning a few rounds, before having to go outside and have a little moment to myself. close to spewing, but held it together… just.
if you’re around for xmas, get your arse back to the vic hotel in brunswick, on dec 23rd and have a crack!!
rocked up late and still got to get on the bikes and have a spin, fucking rad little set up they got going, definitely recommend coming to the next one if you missed out this time round
Alright everyone, you’ve had a month off to recover and rejuvenate those legs. Now get ready to come down to the Victoria-Hotel Brunswick this Sunday and do it all again!
Prizes will be bountiful, jugs will be cheap and fun will be in abundance. If you weren’t there last month then you better make sure you are there this time.
Everyone is welcome, no experience or skill necessary.
So come down, have some fun and spin to win!
Rego starts at 2pm
If you’re not part of the fun, you’re part of the boredom
