You pumped yet? The Red Bull Mini Drome Event in Brooklyn is going to be quite the party.

“100 bicycle speed freaks will initially race against the clock for ten laps around this mini version of a typical velodrome, usually located in arenas or outside and typically cover about 100,000 square feet. The field will get narrowed down to 32, who will race head-to-head in a bracket style competition- a different kind of March madness.”

The event will be hosted by David Ortiz
Special Performance by NINJASONIK

Location:
Bushwick Church
626 Bushwick Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11206

This just in from Red Hook Crit:

“We are proud to release the 2013 Red Hook Criterium Brooklyn Alternate poster. Featuring paintings by local artists Wayne Mazzotta & John Gordon Gauld and designed by Jonah Birns. This poster pays respect to the rich maritime history of Red Hook and the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, the RHC’s waterfront location where the 2013 Championship Series presented by Rockstar Games will begin on March 30th, 2013.”

11×17 prints will be available on Gage + DeSoto http://www.gagedesoto.com

Monster Track 14 descends upon NYC this weekend. Pre-Registration is this Thursday, March 14, 7pm at Tender Trap in Brooklyn (245 S 1st St). Check out more details at the MT14 Facebook page.

Ugalde’s artwork is always so insane!

When this project was first proposed to me, all I thought was “this is too good to be true” and after what seems to be a maddening process of pulling everything together, we’re good to go! Here’s the official blurb from Mission Workshop:

“Follow John Watson of Prollyisnotprobably.com and the Mission Workshop crew as they ride through China’s Yangtze river delta on a photo exploration of bike culture with the help of the guys at Factory Five. Visit the Mission Workshop Blog as they travel through the world’s largest urban population in Shanghai and also explore the ancient architecture of the Chinese countryside.”

To start off the trip, I’ll be in Taiwan in time for the Taipei International Cycle Show before we fly out to Shanghai. This is one part of the world I’ve always wanted to see and I cannot wait to share my photos with you all.

Expect daily updates both here and on the Mission Workshop blog, as well as on Instagram @JohnProlly @MissionWorkshop.

This just in from Chrome:

“Thousands of racers will ascend on and crash the Los Angeles Marathon race course in the dead of the night to compete in one of the most toughest urban cycling races known to man. Chrome has partnered with Red Bull to bring the Wolfpack Hustle Unified Title Series to the next level of urban racing. This is just the first stop of the three race series that will span over several months including a LA Crit, and the 6th St. sprints. Only one man and one woman will be immortalized as winners of the official sacred dog tags which will prove their endurance, speed, and power.”

Wolfpack Hustle takeover! I gotta make it out to at least one of these events in 2013.

Wolfpack Hustle: The Unified Title Series

Saturday, March 23rd, the Red Bull Mini Drome is heading into NYC, specifically, the old Bushwick Church in Brooklyn. This is the first time the Mini Drome has made it to NYC, so it’s going to be a great night.

Register and read up on the event here!

Crihs‘ Mission Bay Crit was a huge success in SF and Mike Martin from MASH headed out to capture the night. I love low-light, moody photography like this. I’m stoked to hear this event went off smoothly and can’t wait to see more of these go down in SF.

Check out the official race report at MASH.

Monster Track is almost here! Get ready NYC. I wish I could make it out but I can’t be two places at once. Yet…

Charge and Red Bull UK are bringing back the Hill Chasers event!

“The UK’s only multi-discipline, uphill sprint race is coming to Scotland for the very first time to settle a long standing battle between bike disciplines. Who will have the stamina and speed to prove that their bike is the fastest on Edinburgh’s most iconic hill?

Taking place on the iconic Grassmarket up Victoria Street, qualifiers are open to 500 cyclists.

The Ladies Army polo tournament returns for its fifth year to East Vancouver. Be there May 10-12th.

I missed this one in the midst of all the madness last week but it’s great to see some choice cuts from both Wolfpack Hustle and Ace from the Sleepers!

I need to make it out to one of these Unified Title Series events this year.

Here’s the official NAHBS Framebuilder Party flier for this year’s event. Like I said, there are a bunch of parties happening Saturday but this one’s for the exhibitors, VIPs and media, at the Colorado Convention Center.

Another related note is the radness that’s been going on in the Velocipede Salon’s Thursday Night Lights thread. Definitely check that out. I wish I had more free time to poke around that forum more often…

Here come the parties!

“Are you going to be in Denver for NAHBS this coming weekend? If not you should book your tickets, hop a train, rent a car, hire a mule, ride a bike, or just start running because we going to have great booth with all of our newest Chris King and Cielo offerings on display at the convention center. As if that wasn’t enough we would like to invite you to an amazing party that we are throwing Friday evening at Salvagetti’s Annex where chef extraodinaire Chris DiMinno from Portland’s renowned restaurant Clyde Common will be serving a delectable array of sliders, New Belgium will be providing an array of intoxicating suds, and all of our pals will be talking shop, telling stories, and having a good laugh.”
