"SEE YOU ON SATURDAY!"

These photos were taken during the most recent "recon" mission that the velopirates did for their upcoming INVERSION EXCURSION IV race.  

They sure look like they know how to  have fun! 

Those boys have posted a map for the upcoming alley-cross extravaganza and I highly suggest you go take a look at it here.

This ride looks as if it could be a lot less horrifying than was previously speculated so I hope to see the hordes of Bikes & Rec devotees out there on Saturday. I will be the one drinking beer and smoking cigarettes at all of the stops. 

this looks like fun...

We here at Bikes & Rec are pretty intrigued about this next race. I will quote Thomas on a myspace bulletin, "FOR THOSE​ WHO RIDE BIKES​ IN BOISE​ IDAHO​ AND ARENT​ PUSSY".  Well, I do ride bikes in Boise, Idaho and I don't think I am "pussy" (a lazy, out of shape, drunkard maybe but let me assure you I am ALL man)  so I suppose we should all, "COME RACE WITH US ON THE 24TH YOU WILL HAVE MORE FUN THAN YOU WILL AT ANY OTHER​ RACE EVER" Ever? Really? we shall see...Bikes & Rec is hatching some plans for this one...beware pussys!  

Happy New Year!

Well, It took awhile with all the bad weather surrounding the country but our family has finally come together all in one place. 

Onward to 2009!

How'd the MAGIC MUSTACHE RACE Go?

The Magic Mustache Ride Went Fuckin awesome! Thanks to everbody that showed up and partipated and those that were there for moral support! A grand total of 23 hardcore mashers signed up I was blown away. 20 of them were there @ the end to rip it up. Brady took first place finishing in 1hr 22min.and received a booty of 75bucks, Bobby got second place @ 1hr 22.10min he racked in 30 bucks and a custom made and painted skate deck compliments of Marty (magnum) Hall, Jeff Baker came in 3rd in 1hr 26min. and got 20bucks you guys slayed it! There were 2 blown tires that I know of and Ryan Weeks snapped his chain, like all boyscouts he was prepared fixed that bitch and mashed on ( this happened to happen @ the the boyscout stop ahhhh snap). The best upper lip hair was definitly between Jeff Baker and Ken. I would like to thank all artists that contributed to this race. A.Mortician for the killer spoke cards and bitchen blog art especialy the Brook Reynolds, Jeff Baker for the sick paint job on the keg fridge that was given away, and Magnum Hall for the rockin skate deck. Boise artists rule! To Bikes and Rec we couldn't have done this with out you thanks! Velopirates thanks for the support and comin out you guys rule! I cant' wait for inversion 09. Warlocks B.C. thanks for the support hellraiser kicked my ass! Shwag shout outs go to Georges, Prestige, Boise CO-OP, Lucys Coffee, Newt and Harolds, Eco Lounge, Atomic Salon, Murphys, Bikes 2 Boards, A1,and Bar Gernika.

I hope the Mutha-scratch puttin' this thing on brings a shit-ton of cocoa, lest I sneer a fuckin' hole in his head.

Like a sculptor does find form in a stone slab, so too will I search deep in the bush to discover my mustache.  Ah, to drink, perchance to dream...  To bed, anon, leaning heavily upon my Wizard's stick.  Rhodes Skatepark 3pm 12/20
