Re: 7th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

I'm spending the afternoon visiting all our lbs, distributing flyers and collecting prizes. After leaving Lee's Bike Shop I thought I should post this one to eliminate the temptation to keep it.

We may be raffling this off or having a separate door prize give away for it.

Are we having two classes again this year?

Re: 7th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

Probably ought to but I'm having a hard enough time coming up with one trophy. If someone else wants to make a trophy for modified you're welcome too and just let me know. I should have thought of this sooner.

Re: 7th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

Unless there is two classes and something that resembles competition for my skid bike I am not going to run it officially. I wouldn't feel right destroying the rest of the field two years in a row.

lol Destroy the field with a TRICYCLE


:lol: :lol: :lol:

Wont have time to mess with my skid bike this year, otherwise you'd be TOAST!!! :wink:

Re: 7th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest

A member here is supposed to be making a modified skid trophy. I'll let him elaborate if he wants to.

Probably need to come up with some good rules/guidelines for the contest. Funny how you think something is pretty simple, cut & dry and then someone has to go and think outside the box :lol:

If I need to I will drop the skid wheel and run it in a more traditional fashion. It may not bring the 400'+ that it did last year, but I will still smoke the tires off the competition. Just won't be as impressive when I slide past you at the grill. Have a dog ready for me when I skid by this year.
