Next Wednesday, I'm headed to Melbourne to see some friends and prepare for a ride with Dan and Andy that will surely kick my ass back to the States. Before we take off, Andy from FYXO HUB is throwing a little after-work party on Friday, February 10th. We'll be playing EMPIRE and drinking heavily so roll through! I'm excited to be back in Melburn. Thanks to Luke for helping us set this up and Fyxomatosis for playing host.

Drinks from 6pm, movie at 7pm. Be there!

It's that time of year again!

You know how Amanda does it after hours. When she's not cutting up some rug dancing, she's throwing Backyard Blam events. If you're in Portland, don't miss this!

Be there.

January 20th and 21st, at Midnight in Hollywood at the Vista Theater, is a screening of Movies About Bikes. Check out more info at the Vimeo page.

This Thursday, here in Austin, State Bicycle Co will be hosting a Loops Ride. It starts at 7pm and should be finished by 10pm with an after party to follow. All the details are here, on the Facebook event page. I'll be there!

Check out the route below.

Pedal for a Cause 02 is coming up. Check out more info at CAS.

The CMWC is returning Stateside this year and Chicago landed the bid. Expect more updates to come but the organizers are tentatively planning for August.

The SoCalCross race was a great way to spend my last day in LA. I met a ton of great people, saw old friends and made new ones, all while shooting photos of people racing cross in the beautiful hills of Griffith Park. Cross in LA is a growing scene and while it may not be as muddy as the Northwest, It's one hell of a ride.

Here we are, just a week or so since the last CX Hairs Bilenky Junkyard Cross video and I still love watching this shit. The BMX and big bike riders ripped that palette kicker. Even the real cross racers looked like they had fun. I spy Chabs in there!

Oh man, that looks like a ton of fun. Someone better do it F I Y A X E D !

More at Backyard Blam. Did you feel that in Portland, Amanda?

Last Saturday, SoCalCross threw what they referred to as "fixed gear cross" but since so many people showed up on actual track bikes and not fixed gears, I'm using the old NYC term, Tracklocross. Kids took to the dirt and sand on street-geared bikes and tried their best to make it around the course. Other riders like Austin Horse just smashed away, leaving Hern trying his best to catch up.

Check out more photos below!

This guy (I wish I knew his name) was living by the tortoise's motto, "slow and steady" and while he didn't win the race, I can only hope that I'll be riding at his age. During the SoCalCross Tracklocross race, he was in the drops on this classic track bike. So sick!

And yes, the SoCal Cross will have multiple posts but I'll do my best to mix them all in. There are just too many rad photos to dump them into one.

The 2012 Red Hook Crit has been slated for March 24th this year. Maybe I'll be able to finish off my whirlwind tour of the States that weekend in NYC. As always, I'll keep you posted on the happenings and check out the newly-formed Red Hook Crit Facebook Page!. Congrats to Dave for being able to throw it again!

Ok so I wouldn't exactly call this an official Event Recap since I missed out on the race and the goldsprints but I did hang out for a little bit at the Fast Folks Santa Can Ride race and food drive last night.

Check out more below!

Yep, we just got over the Black Friday, Saturday and Monday sales and now it's time for the holiday sales. Tree Bicycle Co is offering up some deals and check out more below. As these trickle in, I'll add them to the post.

So, so, so, sorry for the site being down today. My server blows. I'm working on a re-design and a new server for the new year, so bear with me. That said, don't miss out on Emily Maye's show at the Golden Saddle Cyclery this Saturday!

It's the return of the Cutty Cross. Be there this Friday. For more info, head to Mash's blog!
