So here are the terms of the race:
No rider is barred from taking part, if Lance Armstrong shows up he's good to go. Same with Neil Armstrong I guess. The only catch is that you have to use a bike that a typical student would bring to class. No competition bikes.
I took a look around campus and found a lot of Super Cycles and a lot more old Raleighs but also a few nice fixies and one real track bike.
If your bike might be considered a competitive advantage and you can't get a hold of something more even we've been putting together some loaner rides at the Bike Center which will be available. There is also lots of time to come put something together for yourself if you are bikeless.
So we're looking at Saturday July 10th pending weather. I have a course in mind, nothing technical, but I'm not disclosing it as of yet. If you want to practice come out and bomb around campus for the day, then swing by the shop and tune up your bike.
In non-race news, A few more volunteers have signed up since my last post. Sean will be keeping the doors open a few hours longer Monday through Thursday, though this week Thursday is still closing at 3:30.
A new order will be arriving soon which contains brand new wheels and tires. And baskets! People have been asking for racks and baskets pretty regularly so now is the chance.
