The Smack Talk Has Started

Here is the e-mail I got from Gabe this morning. "Man! I'm getting stocked for the race this year.......I turned a 6.5 minute lap on the fixie (29r', 34/20) this morning and am calling out all fixies in the area to come beat that." Ok fixed geared nuts, Gabe has thrown down the smack. I hope someone will be brave enough to accept the challenge.

Thank You Supporters of Bent Creek Park

This weekend a lot of neighbors pitched in and completed a project. Thank you to everyone who has helped put on fundraisers, donated time or money, severing on the park board, etc. This is truly a community that loves it's park and neighborhood.

A good look at our up and coming star athletes.

Another fun family day in the park. We would like to thank everyone who came out and participated in the races, volunteered, and donated towards our cause....to help a park grow. Without all of you this would not be possible. We made almost $500 from the event!

The Crew is already looking at dates for another mtb, 5K, and a cross race sometime in the Fall. Check back often for more details on these up and coming events. We will also be posting photos as they come in. Check out our flicker page on the bottom right side of the blog for new photos.

Next Week Is The Big Race

Once again the Bent Creek Park will be hosting the SAS 3.0 race next week. The course is in great shape, we have our sponsors on board, and the crew is ready for another fun day in the park. Gabe has once again been working his magic on the trophies. Where else do you get hand made trophies and pay a whopping $10 to race? Come on out and help us grow our park.

Get Ready For SAS 3.0 on May 22nd

Everyone in Bent Creek is back at it. Time to do our annual Spring race. The date has been set for May 22nd. We will be releasing information as it comes down the pipe. If you have participated in these races before you know how much fun and family friendly they are. If you haven't participated in these events.....why?

These types of races are not possible without the dedication of a strong group of volunteers. If you would like to help us out on race day (course marshal, registration, course setup and tear down, etc.) please send Gabe an e-mail at gabeh43@bellsouth.net

MORE TO COME......
