Lots of bike stuff coming up: the biggest is the nation-wide Bike to Work Day tomorrow, Friday (which is today by the time you read this, probably). Get the petromonkey off your back, break that glass and steel cage and ride! There’s an after-party over in Ballard if you’re game, where, of course, you can continue on to the already promoted Kidical Mass.
And hey, if you didn’t like Kidical Mass’ name, we definitely don’t recommend you check out the Urban Assault Ride starting up on Phinney Ridge (and taking riders through Wallingford) on Sunday:
The Urban Assault Ride™ is the biggest bike scavenger hunt series in the world! You and a teammate will take to the streets on a city-wide bike adventure. Plot your own course to checkpoints around town where you’ll take on physical and mental obstacle courses. Be the 1st team to hit all the checkpoints and you’ll win a pair of New Belgium Brewing cruiser bikes (and be the first team to the beer tent)
The event is well known for its funky obstacle courses which must be completed before moving on. We’re talking modified Big Wheels, Bike Jousting, The Keg Walk, Inflatable Slides…and much more. Obstacles change every year and at every UAR. It’s a killer event for anybody who can pedal a bike (ages 7 and up). After the fun at the checkpoints there’s a ragin’ after party with a huge prize raffle and plenty of New Belgium beer.
Please, can we be on the same team as that guy?
